EDICT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The EDICT project was started by Jim Breen in 1991 with the aim to provide a complete Japanese to English dictionary. Since that time it has been updated and expanded by many contributors. EDICT is simply a text file; other programs are needed to search and display it. Jim Breen's own on-line dictionary WWWJDIC is a convenient way of accessing the wealth of information contained in EDICT.
This project is considered a standard Japanese-English reference on the Internet, and is used by the Unihan Database and several other Japanese-English projects. JMdict is an expanded file, containing French, German, Russian, etc. translation, and using XML with the UTF-8 encoding.
EDICT also inspired the CEDICT Chinese dictionary project of Paul Denisowski, started in 1997.
The EDICT file currently has about 110,000 entries.
