Zubane: Learn Hindi-Urdu

Zubane's dictionary got audited, entry by entry. Every one of the 5,000 words was read against Platts, McGregor, Steingass, Turner and Rekhta, and 393 corrections landed: • 14 words were filed under the wrong parent language. maheena is Persian, not Sanskrit. daraaz, the drawer, comes from English rather than the Persian for long. bulbul is Arabic. • 25 genders and 23 meanings corrected, and 86 etymologies rewritten where a note credited a dictionary with something it never said • 212 spellings brought back to the app's own conventions, in all three scripts The interface is now one Hindustani text in two scripts. Hindi and Urdu used to say different words for the same thing: शब्द against الفاظ, अक्षर against حروف. That contradicted the whole idea of the app on every screen but the About page, so 113 labels were rewritten to say one word in two alphabets. Also fixed: an AI request that outlived the app's background window could take the app down with it, so leaving mid-question cost you the answer and the screen you were on. And a mistake notebook that failed to load was being overwritten with an empty one; a failed read now leaves the file alone.
