Qvadis announced the release of version 2.1 of Lexica, a reference viewer, multilingual dictionary, and translator system for Palm OS devices. Lexica 2.1 improves on the current 1.1 release by introducing virtual file system (VFS) compatibility. Lexica reference modules can now be stored on external media, such as MultiMediaCard (MMC) and SecureDigital (SD) expansion cards. The development is especially useful for Lexica Pro users, who can now store all of Qvadis’ most popular language modules–which enable bi-directional translation between English and French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese–on an expansion card. In addition, Lexica 2.1 includes a number of other features, including Palm OS 5.0 and Tungsten T compatibility, improved bitmap support for high density displays, dictionary auto-sort, flags for modules on expansion cards, and improved menus.
