This <STRONG>Chinese/English dictionary</STRONG> provides a searchable interface
for the
<A HREF="http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html">CEDICT
dictionary</A> originally put together by Paul Denisowksi. Searches can be
conducted by Chinese (using either the GB, Big5, or Unicode
encodings), pinyin, or English. Results will show the Chinese word,
the pinyin representation of the word, and the English definition.
You can choose to have the Chinese characters appear as GIF pictures. You can
also click on the pinyin to hear how it is pronounced.
<P>
Some points to remember when using this dictionary:
<UL>
<LI>You can download the dictionary data at the
<A HREF="http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html">CEDICT
website</A>.
<LI>This dictionary is only for words. It will not have phrases
(such as "I love you") or names. If you want to find out what your
name is in Chinese, please use the <A HREF="http://www.mandarintools.com/chinesename.html">Chinese Name Tool</A>.
<LI>Pin yin must have spaces between syllables. Tone numbers are not required
(but can help). Only Hanyu pinyin works, Wade-Giles and Yale will not work.
<LI>Case is not important.
<LI>The dictionary is not a translator. It will not translate sentences.
<LI>Make sure your query is spelt correctly.
<LI>There is no profanity in the dictionary.
</UL>
<P>
For a off-line way to search the dictionary, please check out the
<A HREF="http://home.iprimus.com.au/richwarm/cel/cel.htm">CEL utility</A> from
Richard Warmington.
<P>
When <STRONG>searching by Chinese</STRONG> you can tell the
dictionary to find entries that start with the characters, end with
the characters, or have the characters anywhere within the final word.
You can also ask to only return the Chinese entries that exactly match
the word being sought.
<P>
When <STRONG>searching by pinyin</STRONG>, you must include a space
between the different pinyin syllables. You can include or exclude
tone numbers (1-4 and 5 for the neutral tone). For example, if you
were looking for the word for television set, you would type "dian shi
ji" or "dian4 shi4 ji1" or "dian shi4 ji" (but without the quotes).
All would work. But remember to include the space and set the
dictionary to look for pinyin, and not Chinese characters or English.
As with the Chinese characters, you can direct the dictionary to find
entries that have the pinyin at the beginning, end, anywhere, or as
the whole entry. You can return the results in GB, Big5 or UTF-8
Unicode.
<P>
When <STRONG>searching by English</STRONG>, searches are not case
sensitive. Since this is designed as mainly an Chinese to English and
not English to Chinese dictionary, if you can't find the word you are
looking for, you may be able to find it using a synonym. Also, you
may get many unrelated entries that use the word in the English
definition but do not give the equivalent Chinese for it. You can
return the results in either GB, Big5, or UTF-8 Unicode.
<P>
To <STRONG>search by radical/stroke order</STRONG>, please use
my <A HREF="chardict.html">Character Dictionary</A>. You can search
using a table of radicals and the remaining stroke count of a
character. From the list of characters that are returned, you can
click on the character to get a list of all words in the dictionary
that start with that character. This will only work however if the
results are set to be returned as GB, Big5 or Unicode and not as
GIF's.
<P>
<STRONG>If you encounter problems</STRONG>, please make sure that
you are searching by the correct field. For instance, if you are
looking by the English word "computer", make sure you are searching by
English and not pinyin or characters. If you have any questions or
suggestions please visit my <A HREF="contact.html">guestbook</A>.
