Does it work for you? Any comments, suggestions?

I still working on getting it work work in Firefox. I think one of the hardest things about toki pona spelling is remembering how to spell Haiti, Mozambique or Ontario in toki pona.

Except for minimal pairs (poki/poka, seli/suli), people know what I mean when I mispell words, like sitilin, nanpa, etc. Mispelling the proper modifers makes one look uneducated, a surprising result from a conculture that implies a world not necessarily literate and with schools.

I was able to download a folder with two files in it, but wasn't able to get Firefox to understand how to open either the folder or either of the files. I am running Firefox on a windows emulator on a mac though, so I don't know if that is the problem.

It is one file, with zipped content. After downloading the file you should change last part of its name, change it's extension from .zip to .xpi (use "show extensions option", "do not hide extensions", or similar, in your file manager). Without this step, without renaming the file, it will not be seen by Firefox as an add-on. If you have problem with this, I can send you already renamed file via e-mail.

Then click it and "open with..." in "Explorer/Konqueror/Your FileManager" window (sorry, never used Mac), to open it with Firefox.

When I download it it comes as a folder named 'tp-dictionary' with a folder named 'dictionaries' and something named install.rdf. Inside of 'dictionaries' is an 'la.aff' and 'la.dic'. I will PM my email address to you.

It works great even with Firefox running native on a mac.
