Professor Jim Breen's EDICT project is being updated as new entries are being added. Here is how to update NJStar's J-E/E-J dictionary with the latest entries from Dr Breen's EDICT project.

1. Auto Update in Version 5.0

From program menu Tools - Dictionary, click 'Update EDICT' to update EDICT and other dictionaries at one button click.

On windows Vista, please right click on the Japanese WP icon on the desktop, then select 'Run as Administrator', otherwise you will get an update error because NJStar can not write file into c:\program files\njstar japanese wp\ folder.

2. Manual Update:

• The master copy of EDICT (edict.zip) is in "ftp://ftp.cc.monash.edu.au/pub/nihongo". The easy way to check if the version is the latest is from the size/date.
   
• Once you've downloaded the above "edict.zip" file, unzip/expand it to your "NJStar Japanese WP" folder which is normally at "C:\Program Files\NJStar Japanese WP\".
   
• Run "NJStar Japanese WP" and click on the dictionary icon on the program tool bar.

Please wait until the update windows are closed.
