1. Dictionary

This dictionary was created by the Society for Better Books in Cambodia (SSBIC).  The dictionary is a sister project of the Khmer Spell Checker. It is licensed under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL) since it uses the "Khmer OS" Unicode font licensed under LGPL. The original dictionary file may be downloaded here:

2. Fonts

If you do not have Khmer fonts on your phone, then you may use the bitmap fonts supplied with the dictionary package.  Go to the Menu and select Settings -> Use Bitmap Font

The bitmap fonts were generated by the "BitmapFontGenerator" available from DictionaryforMIDs. The bitmap fonts were taken from the "Khmer OS System" font available from www.khmeros.info.  This font is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

3. Request for Help

This release of the dictionary does not contain a Khmer IME (Input Method Editor).  An IME allows you to type in Khmer. Work is underway to add custom IMEs to DictionaryforMIDs. So for this release, unless you add a 3rd party Khmer IME program, you will only be able to search from English to Khmer. You will not be able to search from Khmer to English.

We could use some help with this IME.  If you have a phone that can input Khmer, or you have a program that adds Khmer support to your phone, then we'd be grateful if you could give us the key mappings for the Khmer letters.

Here is an example from English:

2 a
22 b
222 c
3 d
33 e
333 f
...  
# .
## @
### /
...  

Please supply the basic Khmer mapping (think of English phones before T9 input was available).  Please send the mapping information to dreamingclouds (at) gmail.com

Thank you
