NCIKU can't be found, and in Korean....

[xianhua]

What is going on with NCIKU? I just tried it (as a favourite) and I get a page written in Korean? I translated the top line which reads: 을(를) 찾을 수 없습니다 through Google, as 'the page cannot be displayed'.

I'm trying to access it from the UK.

Working fine for me in Australia. nciku is developed by a Korean company, hence the Korean error message.

[HashiriKata]

Same problem here (also in the UK). Hope that it's only temporary.

[renzhe]

Germany too.

I hope they're back online soon, I really enjoy their dictionary.

[tooironic]

I'm getting an error message too. Nciku, despite its awesomeness as an online dictionary, has never been very reliable. Hopefully this, like their other downtimes, is only temporary.

[imron]

Aha, now I see. I normally use nciku.cn which works fine. nciku.com however returns the korean error message.

[cypherpunks2]

Their search still seems to work though. Try e.g.

http://www.nciku.com/search/all/画蛇添足

Maybe it's just the English frontpage?

The Chinese version works fine:

http://www.nciku.cn

[liuzhou]

I'm having no problems with any version.

[xianhua]

Yes, nciku.com is back now - life can resume.

[xianhua]

Down again - . My paper dictionary never does this.

The main page has been down for me all day too, but I had an internal page bookmarked and I'm able to use at least some of the site that way. Try this link and see if it works for you: http://www.nciku.com/conversation

When in Korean, it seems that there's either something wrong with the server or [as I suspect: the server might be disconnected or "turned off" due to unknown reasons? or maybe it was somehow reset by the network administrator?]. It happens to me sometimes. It works for me most days. It only doesn't work when I expect it to work 24/7. It doesn't do that most days. Only once in a while, which forces me to use other websites or ways to input Chinese. Or I could go to Yahoo dictionary [China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc...] and look for a word which has the character I need, then copy & paste.

It doensn't work in Portugal neither...

[liuzhou]

Working perfectly here in China.

Nciku tweeted yesterday that they were having some problems and users outside China should use nciku.cn for now. That said, it looks like it's working now.

I haven't been able to get on for a few days now, I'm a USA user. I've tried both the .com and .cn version of NCIKU. Anyone else having problems?

[HedgePig]

No problems to today in China or via a server in HK. I did (briefly) hit some downtime yesterday.
