Tell me more about Java?
Java is a computer language. The advantage of this language for this software is that Java has international support, is multi-OS, is executable in the browser (in applet mode).
Java program needs a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to run. You can download it at http://www.java.com/getjava/

How do you choose the translation?
I tried to choose the translation that fits the most to the word.
Sometimes the word won't fit the perfect translation, but the translated word will give you an idea of its meaning.

How to request for new features?
You may request for new features in JLearnIt, your request will be treated according to the following rules:

  • You are paying for the feature.
