Japanese dictionary/conjugator for mac osx???

[Heerefishyfish]

I'm looking for a cheap/free program for Mac that will work both as a dictionary and conjugation tool for Japanese. I already use Ultralingua for French (awesome program, check it out for French or Spanish!) and it does both.

Does anyone know of a program that does this? Thanks!

JEDict is worth a look. It's free, although if you want more dictionaries it's worth buying it. And the programmer deserves support I think.

http://www.jedict.com/

It has a verb conjugation feature but only as a full sampling of the various model verbs. You can't plug in the verb you want to be conjugated. Maybe because it's relatively easy in Japanese compared to European languages.

Mind you, because Japanese is so regular it shouldn't be too hard to program this. I'm sure I've seen a web implementation somewhere. If only I could remember where...

a bit of googling later...

There is a japanese-english and a japanese dictionary in Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard

Get Leopard if you can!! Also Steve has wised up and put the Kotoeri input menu in English now. This is a big help for us Japanese learners to be able to use it better. Another huge plus is now you can select kanji in a sentence and have kotoeri reverse it to hiragana. This is helpful when you have a lot of kanji and don't know how to look them up or pronounce them.

I don't think I'd recommend a leap to Leopard just for the Japanese dictionary.

While it doesn't do conjugation (I don't think), I use and really like JEdict.
