Wenlin is designed to help students and scholars of the Chinese language, especially written Chinese, at all levels from beginning to very advanced. It is downloadable software for both Macintosh and MS-Windows. It combines a large, high-speed expandable Chinese dictionary, a full-featured text editor, and a unique "flashcard" system.
CC-CEDICT is a Chinese to English dictionary, available for use online or for download (as a data file here: =cc-cedict). What similar projects provide an English to Chinese dictionary, with definitions of the English words explained in Chinese? I am looking for something with can be downloaded or purchased in a digital format (the data file, such as a commas-separated file or spreadsheet, not the front-end software used to view it).
Wenlin Chinese-English English-Chinese Dictionary download
Adsotrans is based on CC-CEDICT, but they also include (for non-commercial use) software for segmentation, hanzi2pinyin and apparently some sort of semantic analysis. I don't know whether dictionary itself differs from vanilla CC-CEDICT. Their download contains SQL instead of CSV. Also, if I remember correctly they used some sort sort of Latin-whatever encoding instead UTF-8.
If you're willing to pay then most popular option seems to licence ABC dictionary, but unfortunately University of Hawaii has granted Wenlin exclusive license so you'd have to sublicence it from them. See UH and Wenling respective pages here:www.otted.hawaii.edu/technology/00294/abc-chinese-language-database-dictionary and www.wenlin.com/abc.htm
Each text can be displayed in your browser window or downloaded for use with Chinese text reading and dictionary software such as Clavis Sinica or Wenlin. Clicking on the "View Text" link opens an HTML version of the file that you can read in your browser window. Clicking on "Download Text" opens a GB-coded version of the text you can download for later use. Some of the texts are also provided with original English translations created by University of Michigan students.
These resources are extremely useful, not least for me who is a learner(and I can't even speak Japanese, but perhaps one day). It means that Ican download a Chinese book, and put it in Wenlin, or use an electronicmouse-over dictionary for the Russian texts. I'd love to hear aboutinteresting book collections in other languages. 2ff7e9595c
