MDBG Chinese Dictionary
MDBG Chinese Dictionary combines Chinese-English and English-Chinese lookup with tools for reading and practicing Chinese. The online dictionary searches by Chinese, Mandarin pinyin, or English definitions, including wildcard queries. Character entries can show radical and stroke counts, several Chinese pronunciation and writing systems, and code details. Text lookup adds pinyin and English definitions to passages inline or in popups. Free online study tools include flashcards, quizzes, Chinese text input, written Chinese tools, vocabulary web feeds, and a character quiz. MDBG also offers Chinese Reader editions and a macOS dictionary. The macOS dictionary works offline; Chinese Reader for Windows can scan selected text, look up and pronounce Chinese, translate text, and work offline. Its automatic translation uses Google and Microsoft services. The macOS trial has no time limit but covers HSK levels 1–4, approximately 3,000 entries; the full version has over 120,000 entries. The word dictionary is based on CC-CEDICT, whose downloadable data is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0. Plans include a 14-day Chinese Reader Preview trial and several free editions.
