You internet browser must be a modern HTML5 web browser. It must support at least
the following features:
-
"Application Cache"
-
"Local Storage"
-
"XMLHttpRequest Level 2" (specifically XMLHttpRequest.overrideMimeType)
However - as of now the Web App is still under
development. The Translation Layer is complete (i.e. all the translation
features work), and we have the crude 'mini_hmi'. But we still search for an HTML5 developer to implement a nice
user interface, read more

In our DictionaryForMIDs forum we have the board DictionaryForMIDs Web App. Please read there for the latest updates on the Web App. And please post there your experience and wishes about the Web App !
