Chinese-English Dictionaries for MacOS Dictionary App and Safari

[Kerim Friedman]

Hi folks,

There used to be a nice list of dictionary files one could download and install in the built-in Dictionary App for macOS, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone know the link (assuming it is still there)? I found a version of CEDICT that is a bit out of date but still works, but haven't found anything else. 

Also there was a Safari Extension that allowed pop-up definitions (called Frill) but that doesn't seem to be working anymore. Anyone know of any alternatives? I have something good for Chrome, but don't know of anything for Safari...

Thanks!

Kerim

Perhaps this site?

Have you tried the Translate Safari Extension?

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I take the liberty to notify SmartHanzi (Mac version) on Mac App Store. New version to be published shortly.

Looking through the list archives I see that last time this came up (over two years ago) it was me who sent the dictionaries to someone else. Unfortunately the link I used is now gone. But if I have an archive of my old computer's System Folder somewhere I should be able to dig out those dictionaries... Seems that right now the best you can do is CEDict... (Which also seems to be what SmartHanzi uses?)

Correct.

Up to my knowledge, CC-CEDICT is the only free (Creative Commons) Chinese-English dictionary list still maintained. Additional lists - general or specialized - would be welcome. For French, CFDict is updated again. HanDeDict (German) is no more maintained.

Happy new year!
