Hi. We now have a new bot in the irc channel, its source code is on http://github.com/Christoph-D/Japanese-Tools .
It can do RTK lookups (heisig number - keyword - kanji in all directions), jmdict lookups, google translate and automatic reading generation, using mecab just like Anki.
To get a better picture of it, it looks like this:
<Christoph> !rtk 日本語
<rtkbot> #12: day 日 | #211: book 本 | #347: word 語
<Christoph> !rtk wonder
<rtkbot> #1987: wonder 驚, #2704: I wonder 哉
<Christoph> !kana 日本語のページを検索
<rtkbot> 日本語[にほんご] の ページ[ぺーじ] を 検索[けんさく]
<Christoph> !ja 検索
<rtkbot> 検索 [けんさく] (n,vs), 1. looking up (e.g. a word in a dictionary), 2. retrieval (e.g. data), 3. searching for, 4. referring to [...]
(Those commands work just as well in a plain Linux terminal, for the terminal users reading this. It's all shell scripts, basically.)
