[https://xiaoyifang.github.io/goldendict-ng/ GoldenDict-ng] can be used for convenient search.
[https://xiaoyifang.github.io/goldendict-ng/ GoldenDict-ng] can be used for convenient searchings.
 
Dictionaries listed must be digitalised so that can be searched by queries.
 
If a database is used by several dictionaries, only one will appear on the list, other ones are below the main list.
 
If a database on a website is from elsewhere, then this database will not be taken into consideration. If a dictionary doesn't mention its source and the source turns out to be from elsewhere, possibly involving plagiarism, then this site will not be mentioned.
 
Dictionaries with API support are marked with [API]; dictionaries available for offline use (document, webpage, program, database) are marked separately with [offl.d], [offl.w], [offl.p], [offl.db]; dictionaries in public domain (50 years after the last author's death on this page, more information [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright_lengths here]) are marked with [PD]; dictionaries under public licenses are marked with [PL]. You can use [https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile SingleFile] or [https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ SingleFileZ] to save webpages.
 
Please learn about the “find in page” function of a browser if you don't know about it.
 
'''Reminder: to find dictionaries you need, check four locations: “Multiple languages”, the language you are learning, the language you've learned, “Dictionaries with the same database”.'''
 
This page has a child: [[Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Internet-Specialised-Dictionaries]]
 
<span link>Don't miss the chance to check out these pages as you wrap up this lesson:</span> [[Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Difficulties-of-languages|Difficulties of languages]], [[Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Numeration-Tutorial|Numeration Tutorial]], [[Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Best-Singers|Best Singers]] & [[Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Introduction-to-Writing-Systems|Introduction to Writing Systems]].
 
Source languages are sub-headings, target languages are paragraph. “Searching by entry content” is excluded, i.e. only “searching by headword” is taken into consideration, in terms of “source languages” and “target languages”. This resembles the layout of the paper dictionary.

Find some random words with different frequency levels (for example top 1000, 5000, 10000, 50000), according to [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists the lists on Wiktionary] or somewhere else. Then you can test it.

=== How to evaluate the precisions of a dictionary? ===
Find a random word and search in the dictionary, then ignore the headword, just see the entry and see how many headwords you can come up with. If you can always recall one word, that means the dictionary is very precise. If it's one-one projection, it may cause big misunderstandings because words are usually don't have exactly corresponding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_sense word senses]. Part-of-speech is essential. But being precise is not the only thing to care about. The entry should be brief, too. You couldn't expect a hobbyist dictionary to reach this high quality, but a satisfying level.
Find a random word and search it in the dictionary, then see if the entry and suits any other words.

Hi Polyglots! 😊

On this page we have put together a collection of online dictionaries.

Language names are based on ISO 639-3 with minor modifications.

GoldenDict-ng can be used for convenient searchings.


Meanings of indicators:

  • [API] API support;
  • [offl.d], [offl.w], [offl.p], [offl.db] available for offline use (document, webpage, program, database);
  • [p] photos only;
  • [PD], [PL] in public domain or under a public license.

SingleFile can be used to save webpages.

Source languages are headings, target languages are paragraph. “Searching by entry content” is excluded, i.e. only “searching by headword” is taken into consideration, in terms of “source languages” and “target languages”.


For the database:

Websites that use data from elsewhere without mentioning their sources are excluded.

The first link of each database is the source of it, if its source is publicly available.

Though using the same database, the versions they use and the coverages can vary.

[PL] or [PD] in the headings indicates the database's status, [PL] after the links indicates the service's..
