ctext is awesome. Here's a link to their Yi Jing (Book of Changes): http://ctext.org/book-of-changes

I volunteer as a sysadmin for wengu (http://wengu.tartarie.com/wg/wengu.php). We cover some of the Chinese Classics.

In the coming years, I intend to redo wengu in sphinx-doc + reStructuredText and make them available in a updated website and generated PDF's. There may be some copyright issues with Wilhelm's Yi Jing translation, though. I think there's still a few years left.

I also am creating a spiritual successor to Christoph Burgmer's cjklib (https://github.com/cburgmer/cjklib). It's called cihai, you can find it at https://cihai.git-pull.com.

If you have parallel translations of text, I wrote Pingtype to show the word-by-word literal translation and pinyin.

For example, a random Bible verse every time you refresh. Or see the YouTube link from the heading row.

I'd like to include CText's data, but there's a strict warning against scraping their site.

Pingtype's keyboard uses character decomposition data that I generated myself based on cjk-decomp-0.4.0.txt.

Just type a character in the text box (using handwriting recognition), then if the character isn't the right one, click on the parts to break it up and rebuild the one you wanted. Then click Insert to copy it to the text translation area, where it can be translated into pinyin, bopomofo, etc.
