I am really happy to announce that RomajiDesu English Japanese dictionary version 2.0 has officially launched after several weeks of hard working! The new version is really a out-standing one with a lot of new features and stuffs which are optimized in terms of look-and-feel and performance.

So what's new about the new version? The first innovation is the new English Japanese dictionary, the former dictionary result has been replaced by a much richer content with related words, relevant examples and a beautiful layout (Fig. 1). The performance also increases dramatically thanks to the intelligent caching.
