About Us
The yiddict.app project seeks to bring a convenient, easy-to-use dictionary app for all speakers and learners of ייִדיש.
The content on yiddict.app is sourced from Raphael Finkel's own Yiddish-English dictionary lookup site. In fact, this website fetches its entry data directly from Finkel's in its current state. The motivation for yiddict.app stemms in large part from a personal desire to improve the user experience of Finkel's site and to update its interface to current tastes and use cases (i.e. mobile web browsers).
Future goals for the project include:
- Native apps for iOS and Android
- Offline functionality
- Search suggestions
- Proper English-Yiddish search and entries
- More data sources
