| Chinese-English Dictionary |

This is an online Chinese-English dictionary. The dictionary is mainly based on
CEDICT (Chinese English Dictionary) originated by Paul Denisowski,
which is a text file containing over 20,000 Chinese words with English definitions.
For more info about CEDICT, check out the CEDICT project
or Mandarintools.com.
CEDIC is virtually a database and not user friendly so we have spent many hours to create
this web-based dictionary. Hope it is useful to you.
