Dizionario Giapponese Hoepli

This app provides the Hoepli edition of the Japanese-Italian/Italian-Japanese Dictionary from Matilde Mastrangelo, Naoko Ozawa, and Mariko Saito. This dictionary is a great tool for the exchange between Italian and Japanese, when studying one of both languages or consulting for cultural or working purposes.

Japanese headwords, expressions, and examples, are shown both with ideogram representation (kanji) and their transliteration into Latin alphabet, and this feature makes the dictionary comprehensible to Italians with oral knowledge only of Japanese; the use of the Latin alphabet as a sorting order in the Japanese-Italian section allow an easier looking-up to Italians that are not yet familiar with Japanese syllabic tables.

Beside the search within the large wordlist, the app allows you to perform full-text searches and provides a very practical "Useful Phrases" section with about 800 models providing a wide collection of everyday expressions, related to common scenarios you may encounter on travel, at the airport or train station, or in circumstances in which you need to interact with specialized terms, such as in an emergency.

The app's interface has been redesigned to provide a simpler and more intuitive experience. You can swipe the definitions to the right to return to the search results and improve the readability by pinching the text with two fingers to zoom in and out. In addition, you can tap on any word within the definitions and look it up directly in the dictionary without having to type it into the search box. A main menu that can be activated via an icon available at the top right of the screen enables all the features of the app:

• Index search: displays in alphabetical order the headwords that match the characters typed in the search box
• Advanced search: lets lets you search for headwords, in the phraseology, in full text and in the repertoire of useful phrases
• Settings: allows you to choose the font size of the definitions and the language of the interface
