but they removed many of good resources due to copyright.

I didn't know that! That explains why I can't find some material I thought I had seen there before (like the dialects dictionary).

 

I didn't know 暂坐 had been published already, thanks! I just read the 后记, I definitely have to read the rest but have to wait for the e-book to be published.

This is a great book!

I used to use nciku back when I was learning Chinese. It was really great. Unfortunately, it died. Now I usually use Taiwan's 萌典 or something. I'm not really interested in paying for dictionaries.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more precise: I'm using the iPad app on my Mac. Which means I'd also be happy to find something that works for Windows, even if it's not especially designed for it.

Wether or not its optimized isn't that important for me, as long as I can use it, which I can. So, no app for Android or Windows that you know of?

That's excellent news. I actually do have an Android emulator. Is there any Android app for this dictionary? I have not been able to find any. I guess such an app needs to exist for the Win 11 feature to work? Thanks.

Big thanks. If it's not in in the Play Store (or if I find an apk), I don't think I'll be able to use it in my emulator, sadly.

Hm, I really can't seem to solve this. I have also tried installing the Xiaomi app store via APK but have not been able to do so (on my Huawei phone). You don't happen to have the dictionary APK file available?

 

By the way, since you seem to know your dictionaries; do you know of any dictionaries that include the mainland traditional version? Guifan does so for one character words but not anything else. For example, one that gives me 爲何 instead of 為何, 終于 instead of 終於 and 説服 instead of 說服. I do think my examples are correct, but I might also be completely off.
