Can you skip the downloading dict necessity for the first time loading the dict? So can manually put the dict files without having to access internet (sometimes don't have internet and it's big).
This looks interesting, I'll have to check it out tomorrow... Thanks much!
of course, will modify it later. Thanks for your suggestion.

Also please have a look, i found some dictionary is not recognized at all after indexing (no result of that dict appear).
Maybe it language dependent, i don't know too. (Chinese is ok).
Here is the link to those dicts you can test.

Hi Goby! And thanks for your app!
I'm facing a small issue with your app.
With others dictionaries, when I click word for definition it says "Word not found in active dictionary".
I'm using KitKat in Nexus 4. I already searched google, but found nothing. How could I solve it?
Thanks!

Guys does anybody knows how to convert PDF of language other than English to EPUB?
It seems when we use software like callibre the font of the book becomes jumbled up and unreadable.
If anybody knows the solution please post ASAP.
translate pdf using google translator or similar tool and then convert to epub.

Thanks for rply, but that is not what i meant. I have a pdf file in Hindi and I want to convert into epub without changing language. That is HINDI.pdf-Hindi.epub.
EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the particular display device used by the reader of the EPUB-formatted book, although EPUB now also supports fixed-layout content. The format is meant to function as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. It supersedes the Open eBook standard.

Click to collapse
I don't think Hindi can be reflowed according to the screen sizes, thus eliminating the possibility of epub creation.
It's interesting... I'll look it up.
is the pdf you're trying to convert searchable?
Try this
1. Convert the file to epub in Calibre (this will only work if the file actually uses Hindi text and not images/glyphs)
2. Get a Hindi font - An open source/freely licensed one if you plan to redistribute the document.
3. Use Sigil to embed the Hindi font into the file - you'll get more help for this part on the Sigil or epub authoring sub-forum.
sry for late rply, but yes the book is searchable. Google for this "Harry Potter aur Paras Pathar".
Just read philosopher's stone?
OR
Attach / PM me the pdf. I'll give it a try

[APP][2.2+] 子典 Cantonese Dictionary (2.3.3) - Free offline Cantonese-English Dict.
Hi guys, I'd like to introduce my dictionary app for Cantonese-English lookup.
Description
The 子典 Cantonese Dictionary is a free, offline dictionary with over 210K entries.
It offers four lists and according search modes:
English Meaning (/Description)
Cantonese Words
Cantonese Characters
Jyutping (Romanization)
The entries of this list are asynchronously loaded from a database copied to the internal storage in the background.
The database itself is based on the Cantonese CEDICT project.
I came up with the idea, when I searched myself for a good dictionary for Cantonese, but I've only found Mandarin, not working, and ugly online half-working ones. So I programmed my own with Holo Light and Google Cards UI.
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plckthun.cantdict
The app is for free, but with a minor banner ad at the bottom of the lists. You can remove the ad and support the development by purchasing the "Adfree" In-App package.
Support / Report
I'll answer your suggestions, problems and questions on this facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/cantdictandroid
New Features
Text-To-Speech / Speak
Component Analyser (The app looks up every character of a word automatically)
Settings
Voice Input (Search)
Report feature, to report false entries

Version 2.1.1
Added a basic text-to-speech / speak function. You can use it in an entry by clicking on the new actionbar button. I made the TTS myself. It contains of about 1600 audio files, so the app is no 5-6MB bigger.

No, I'm from Germany, but my mother came from Hong Kong, so I'm trying to learn more Cantonese and came up with the idea
I come from Hong Kong and studying in UK currently so a dictionary would be really helpful for me,a few suggestion for your app btw
First is the loading time problem,I guess you already saw it in comment in higher play
Second I think it would be great if the keyboard can pop up directly after enter app so it can be faster for user to search words

Version 2.2
- Component Analyzer (Looks up every word/character of an entry automatically)
- Settings
