stoney Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:54 AM Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:54 AM This info is probably already available here, but I've been trying to figure out a free way to do this, and now that I know, here it is in case anyone else is not sure 1.Download and install Stardict http://stardict.sourceforge.net/download.php 2.Download and install newish version of cedict 2009/08/31 http://sourceforge.net/projects/stardict/files/stardict-dictionaries-zh_CN/2.4.2/stardict-mdbg-cc-cedict-2.4.2.tar.bz2/download This will read Chinese in other programs( doesn't seem to work for me in Firefox) , but I use it mostly for skype. It's clean, stable and quick. Is there another way to do this in skype?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted November 18, 2009 at 01:23 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 at 01:23 PM I'm not sure that I trust a dictionary program which claims More functionl, more dictonaries http://stardict.sourceforge.net/download.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted November 18, 2009 at 01:54 PM Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 at 01:54 PM lol! That is funny. Well anyways, you can trust cedict . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrix Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:33 PM Actually I don't think you can trust it that much. At this point in time, nothing beats a well-edited dictionary, I must say. CEDICT is very useful for web-based stuff and databases and so on, but it's more a wordlist than a dictionary... Just compare CEDICT to 21世紀漢英大辭典... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbt Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 at 02:56 PM Thanks Stoney will definitely give this a try. I usually play musical windows when using Skype in Chinese. Other solution = two 23" monitors + fancy video card to run 'em. This sounds cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted November 19, 2009 at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 at 12:54 AM Thanks. Maybe I wouldn't hate using QQ so much if I had a trick like that up my sleeve. I'm assuming if it works with Skype, it also works with QQ. Do you know if that's true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
