semola Posted October 12, 2012 at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 at 08:50 PM These two online dictionaries have been down since this afternoon at least here in Italy. Do anybody know what may have happened? And, more importantly, do anybody have a alternatives to these two websites? cheers, I'm in the middle of a translation and I'd like to finish before midnight...or I can simply give up and go to the nearest bar to drink a bunch of beers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveh Posted October 13, 2012 at 03:33 AM Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 at 03:33 AM I dont know about before, but the sites are both up now. I've realized that when using certain VPNs, NCIKU doesnt work. maybe try wenlin as a software? A search in google shows mdbg.net and dict.cn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liuzhou Posted October 14, 2012 at 09:31 AM Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 at 09:31 AM A paper dictionary! Luddite! Cutting and pasting from the interweb to a paper dictionary gets messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semola Posted October 16, 2012 at 03:14 PM Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 at 03:14 PM they are both up again, thank you for the help! I've solved the problem using the offline mode of my good old 新华词典 (read "paper mode") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
