Public domain downloadable Chinese-Chinese dictionary?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Whereas cc-cedict is a public domain Chinese-English dictionary, I am looking for a Chinese-Chinese downloadable dictionary to include in an app I am building.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

UPDATE: I am interested in how I can license non-free versions also.

Thanks for responding, but I don't think so. I am looking for a big text file like cc-cedict or possibly a database that I can download and use in my own apps.

Also, technically that one is under a non-commercial license, so including it in a for-profit app would be legally problematic. (this is why the only way to get it in Pleco is via a user dictionary that we had no part in making)

Sorry, by "that one" I meant the MoE dictionary skylee mentioned, not CC-CEDICT.

 

Creative Commons licenses come in a lot of different varieties - Attribution, Share Alike, and Non-Commercial are three of the 'flavors' that can be chosen for a CC license. The MoE chose to use a Non-Commercial CC license for their release of that Chinese-Chinese dictionary, but the CC-CEDICT editors did not choose to use one for CC-CEDICT.
