The author

My name is Grzegorz Bober and I'm a dropout from the University of Warsaw Institute of Oriental Studies. I was unsatisfied with the overall functionality, user interface and aesthetics of available online and pocket dictionaries so I started working on my own software for the EDICT files and that became Online Dictionary Tangorin.
