The documents below accompany updates that are available or have been incorporated into the original Phoenix Theory translation dictionary (version 1.0). They contain information about corrections to the dictionary, additions to the dictionary (vocabulary, briefs, phrases, etc.) and new writing options. You’ll especially want to check out the new writing options as they frequently involve easier-to-execute strokes and/or ways to shorten your writing. Each link takes you to a new document and is descriptive of the information you will find in that document.
