Every syllable cluster is checked against the DDC dictionary. A wavy underline marks what the dictionary does not know, and a right-click shows the nearest known forms.
02 · GLOSSARY
Turn on term marking and phrases like original jurisdiction or Attorney General are underlined. Right-click for the Dzongkha term, click to replace, Shift-click to insert it after the English.
03 · MATTERS
File each document under a matter. Record parties, hearing dates and your own fields. Upcoming and overdue dates show on the home screen, so nothing is missed.
THE PILOT
Lhamo is free to use during the pilot. You sign in with a Google account so your documents follow you between devices. We record how the editor is used, which features are opened and how often, and the maintainer can read documents created during the pilot to understand how Dzongkha legal text is written in practice.
Do not use the pilot for documents that must stay confidential. Tell us what breaks, what is missing, and what you would want before trusting it with real work.
