Hello LLTIers! I am hoping to get some ideas for enriching hypertext/ non-roman character input / right click glossing / auto spellcheck outside of the OS. Our accessibility specialist is a big firefox plugin fan and this got me to thinking that we must be close to something like a language pack-free, browser-based, multilingual computing environment. I have zero R/D staff here am hoping maybe other schools have documented this kind of stuff. I have in mind tricks like right clicking on words in the browser and having language dictionaries/spell checker plugins/mods installed that do their magic. Excuse my ignorance on the subject - any pointers very appreciated!
