Abstract
There are a lot of dictionaries available in the market. However, it‘s hard to find a MalayArabic dictionary complete with picture or video to visualize what is the word represent, and pronunciation in voice. Thus, the researchers developed and implemented a Malay-Arabic online multimedia dictionary for beginner (OMMAr). The user is able to enter a Malay word and if the word matches any of the entry in the database system, the meaning in Arabic will be displayed with the picture or video and the sound for the word pronunciation. If there is no match, the system will propose similar words. The system is also capable of the doing the same for Arabic words. The technology used is client-server technology where the mobile device (Smartphone) is the client, and there is a web server to facilitate the lookup table (database) and storage for the audio-visual aids. This paper will present the design of OMMAr on Smartphone which uses the UTF-8 character encoding to store the Arabic words. There is a special treatment to the web pages, the web server, and also the database. The web pages use UTF-8 HTML encoding while the web server needs a special function to translate the HTML code into UTF-8. To store the Arabic characters, the database‘s collation also need to be set to UTF-8. The authors use the Flash format for the videos and the sounds, while the images are in JPEG, GIF or PNG format. This paper is to report the design, implementation and testing of the systems user interface on several popular Smartphone devices.

Keywords: online dictionary, Malay-Arabic online dictionary, UTF-8 characters transaction, online multimedia dictionary, mobile based dictionary.

Multimedia Dictionary app for Android – with Source codes

I decided to publish the following source code of a Multimedia Dictionary app for Android. The apps is a dictionary of the following languages, Malay, Arabic and English. All the word entries are available in the locally (sqlite), however we do not have the complete word list. This code is specifically designed to support only Android 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. This is due to lack of Arabic character support in the listed Android version. And there ‘s a special treatment to the Arabic characters which we found quite complicated. It won’t run beautifully on the Android 3.0 and above. Sorry for the lack of documentation, however if you’re familiar with Java in Android, it actually simple. I’ll do further documentation later. You may somehow revamp the apps, or do what ever you want. I would like to However make only one request, please do not remove the advertisement in the main screen. To test the Arabic input, you need to have the Arabic keyboard – use this http://bit.ly/ask1-1 . Not sure with...
