Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add the full LSJ lexicon?

The app only includes texts that the Perseus Digital Library has released under open source licenses. At the time of this app's development, the full LSJ wasn't available under such a license, so we were limited to the Middle Liddell. I have not kept up with the status of lexicon texts and licensing in the years since, but the app is no longer under active development.

If you're using the app on a device connected to the Internet, you can use the View on Perseus option in the action bar menu to open the Perseus Greek Word Study Tool page for a word. The page will be displayed with properly rendered Greek characters and will contain links to the full LSJ entry.

Can you translate the app to my language?

Sorry, we're limited to texts available from the Perseus Digital Library. If you're interested in translating the app's UI text to another language, feel free to open an issue for further discussion.

What should I do if I've spotted an error in the lexicon?

Open an issue here or send an email to greekreference@benlinskey.com. We'll fix the text and pass the info on to Perseus.

What should I do if I encounter a bug?

If Android gives you the option to submit a crash report, please do so. You can also open an issue here or email greekreference@benlinskey.com with a description of the problem.

I'd like to suggest a new feature or improvement to the app.

If you encounter a bug, please open an issue or send an email to greekreference@benlinskey.com. I am not accepting new feature requests at this time; I'd encourage anyone interested in continuing active development of the app to create their own fork.

Can you make a Latin version of the app?

Several users have requested a Latin version. While I'm not planning to make such an app myself, anyone is welcome to use this project as the basis for a new app, in accordance with the terms of its license.
