What's happened to 句酷, the online dictionary?

[Tiana]

Hi,

I hope that this wonderful online dictionary 句酷 ( http://www.jukuu.com/ ) is not taken over by something else. I used it a lot for looking at Chinese sentences (with English translations) but today, whenever I tried to open it, something else turned up. Has anyone experienced the same?

If this website has actually gone, have we got something else similar that we can use? Any suggestions would be very welcome (I like www.nciku.com also, very useful, but for a different purpose)

There are a lot of great recommendations for example sentences in this thread: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/37098-where-to-find-simple-example-sentences/

I'm personally using http://dict.youdao.com most of the time now.

I just tried it, and it works for me. I'm in mainland China. It also worked with my VPN from the USA. Maybe the site was just down for a while?

I tried to get on just now, it says they're upgrading their server and will be down until 24 April 23:00.

Thank you everyone for replying!

I've got the same message now but yesterday when I tried, I got the website "句酷批改网" instead, and that made me think "句酷" was replaced. I'm pleased to know that it'll be back.

Ludens, I'll have a look at the sites from your link. They'll definitely give me more choices. Thank you!
