ningnong Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It's a great translation and dictionary site I really hope it comes back online. I checked the thai2english Twitter and Facebook pages but no new posts since 2019. Looks like the creator is a member here at AN, mike_l but no activity since 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Poor site with terrible transcription. There are much better options out there. In my opinion, won't be missed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, won't be missed. Please share the much better options out there. Personally I have no use for transcription and students should learn to read the Thai as quickly as possible and get away from transcription. I like the way thai2english breaks a sentence down to individual words and reveals compound words I may have missed. And giving a phonetic spelling using commonly used consonants เศรษฐกิจ = เสด-ถะ-กิด is helpful for words with unusual spelling or for a beginner learning to read Thai. The rating if a word is commonly used, rarely used etc. is handy too. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Foxx Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2023 In terms of transcription, the best is AUA (as used by AUA, language schools using the Union method, and many universities). It's used on the website thai-notes.com, which includes a Thai-English, English-Thai Dictionary with a "bulk lookup" feature, so one can not only look up individual words, but also whole sentences. There's also Haas' Thai-English learners' Dictionary, and an Etymology Dictionary. There's also a tool that transcribes Thai. https://thai-notes.com/ https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/predictionarysearch.html https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/haas.html https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/etymdict.html https://thai-notes.com/tools/thai2ipa.html thai-language.com also supports this transcription, though you have to turn it on under Site Settings http://thai-language.com/default.aspx?nav=control There's the main dictionary at http://thai-language.com/dict/search The "dumper truck" icon turns on "bulk lookup". 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a quick look at the sites this morning. I still need to test how they deal with compound words but so far so good. I think thai-language will be a fine replacement for thai2english for my needs although but I do hope thai2english returns. Thanks for the link for the control panel at thai-language where I was able to turn off all the transcription and other site features I don't use or want to see. Makes it much cleaner to look at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
