JL is a program for looking up Japanese words and expressions. Inspired by Nazeka and Chiitrans Lite.
Download from the releases page. Prefer the x86 version for 50-80% less memory usage.
IMPORTANT: If you are using Windows 7 and you intend to use EPWING dictionaries, you MUST use the x86 version because of a .NET bug. See the link for more details.
