CEDICT: Chinese-English Dictionary

Ed./Corp.: Started by Paul Denisowski, now maintained by volunteers at
mandarintools.com.
URL.: http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html
Language: Chinese (Big5, GB), English..

Self description: This website is a continuation of the CEDICT project
started by Paul Denisowski. It aims to provide a complete Chinese to English
dictionary with pronunciation in pinyin for the Chinese characters. CEDICT
is merely a text file, other programs are needed to search and display it.
CEDICT was inspired by the EDICT Japanese dictionary project of Jim Breen.

Description: As of May 2004 the Big5 version contained 25,807 entries with
26,404 definitions, the GB version 23,512 entries with 24,345 definitions.
The project is meant as an open collaborative endeavor, submissions for new
or enlarged entries are highly encouraged.

Note: The dictionary can be used as a local add-on to your machine (desktop,
laptop, PalmPilot, WAP) or on-line.
