Mouse-over dictionary


Recommended Posts

I need a good MDBG dictionary program that works with Windows 7. With all the cool new Aero effects, no pop-up translator seems to work anymore...

I really need one also, if I don't find anything I'll buy MDBG but ur saying that it doesnt work on windows 7 ? that sucks coz i was planning on upgrading my OS

does anyone know how to add mouseover pinyin/english functionality to a website or blog?

Posted

thanks for the help, that looks cool but what I'm looking for is something that installs onto my blog and allows visitors to mouseover chinese straight away.

You probably want something like this if you want to automate it. But to be honest this I suspect it's better to leave the text blank and let users apply whatever methods they prefer, perhaps with links to a few recommended tools.

good point Roddy, a lot of people probably have firefox plugins installed. also I tried that wordpress plugin, it was made 2 years ago and doesn't work with new versions of wordpress.

There might be something similar out there, I don't know. But like you say, I think anyone likely to want pop up translations knows how to get them. I've played with them on this site, but there never seemed to be that much interest.

still about MDBG, I bought a license few month ago and the soft is still great.

but I get two annoying bugs :

_the first one can happen with everyone, if the software is ON you can't use copy/paste (ctrl+c/ctrl+v), it's pretty annoying but it's okay since turning it OFF in the taskbar just solve the problem

_the second one is realllyyyy annoying, but won't annoy most people here. When I use dreaweaver (to create website) it turns pages from unicode to chinese. EVERYTIME I open a page... And this, even if MDBG is OFF in the taskbar, so I have to shut it down everytime I'm using dreamweaver ;( quite a pain. anyway if you do not use dreamweaver you won't have this issue so... all good.

hope a developper from MDBG is reading that :|

I'm not really happy about their purchase and activation procedure. They suggest that u install the app by downloadin' & runnin' an online installer (so u can't even keep the original app ). The next step will be to activate the product which also requires u to be online. What if I want to re-install & re-activate the product but I'm offline? Do I do the whole thing again?

Have you tried Pablo?

Just did on Xp.

Like:

Easy to install.

Dict. install automatically

Can use in any Win application.

Don't like:

Pinyin characters are not clear to read

Does not work with MSN and QQ

The last point is the knock out point for me. Hope you fix that soon.

PS: The MDBG is way too expensive. For $10 they could get a few 1000 users in sort time but with their pricing it's more for a selected few.

Hello flameproof,

Popup support in Messenger and QQ is a great idea!

I have worked a bit on it and I posted a new version that offers some support in those programs. Not perfect, but it should show translations in the conversations.

Enjoy it from:

I want a mouse-over pop-up dictionary to use in Microsoft Word. To those who have paid for this kind of software, would you recommend I did the same? Or are the free ones mentioned above just as good? Thanks.

Yeah, KingSoft 2009 isn't working for me in firefox 5.

Also, when I do the mouse over translate, i get a blank box...
