Ascii2Binary 2 The Ascii2Binary project consists of two complementary programs that convert between textual and binary representations of numbers. Ascii2Binary reads input consisting of textual representations of numbers separated by whitespace and produces as output the binary equivalents. It is useful for generating test data and linking programs that generate textual output to programs that require binary input. Binary2Ascii converts binary numbers to text. In both programs, the type and size/precision of the input or output is selected using command line flags.

Enca 'Enca' (Extremely Naive Charset Analyser) detects the encoding of text files, based on knowledge of their language. It can also convert them to other encodings, letting you to recode files without knowing their current encoding. It supports most of Central and East European languages, and a few Unicode variants, independently of language.

Fribidi FriBidi is a free implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional (BiDi) Algorithm. It also provides utility functions to aid in the development of interactive editors and widgets that implement BiDi functionality. The BiDi algorithm is a prerequesite for supporting right-to-left scripts such as Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Thaana.

HTMLatex htmlatex does on-the-fly rendering of LaTeX source to HTML documents. htmlatex is a mod_python application that uses memcached to reduce the massive overhead of repeatedly rendering the same equation. It has an option to sanitize the LaTeX source, removing any potentially dangerous code. It is fairly generous about the HTML and LaTeX it accepts. LaTeX source code is typed directly into an HTML file. The file is left unchanged, and the output is filtered, replacing raw source with images.

JGloss JGloss is an application for adding reading and translation annotations to words in a Japanese text document. This can be done automatically and manually. When a text document is first opened, kanji words will be looked up in a dictionary and the first reading and translation (if any) used to annotate the word. The user can then edit the annotations: choose among the readings and translations found in the dictionaries, enter your own readings and translations, remove annotations, and add new annotations. The document can be exported as plain text with annotations, HTML, or LaTeX.

Leet-Generator Leet-Generator converts plaintext to leettext.

Lengualibre Lengualibre is a project to write a free online Spanish language dictionary (Spanish words and definitions, *not* a Spanish-English bilingual dictionary). It currently consists of a project manifesto, which outlines the philosphy and goals of the project. The Web site is entirely in Spanish; all documentation, which must be licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, will also be in Spanish. There are currently no entries in the dictionary. The project will also include GPL'd programs that will interact with the entries in the dictionary. Currently under development is Fichalibre, a program designed to let people enter lexographical units. This project was a GNU package. It has since been decommissioned and is no longer developed.

Libtranslate 'libtranslate' is a library for translating text and Web pages between natural languages. Its modular infrastructure lets users implement new translation services separately from the core library. It is shipped with a generic module that supports Web-based translation services (ie, BabelFish) and lets new services be added simply by adding a few lines to an XML file. The distribution also includes a command line interface.
