小词典 Small Chinese Dictionary

absolutely sweeeet. i've finally stumbled across a chinese dictionary for os x, 小词典 Small Chinese Dictionary. now i can lookup chinese definitions through the normal context menu while disconnected from the web. that means translation from anywhere - regardless of wifi availability. i've been waiting on this ever since os x had a prepackaged dictionary integrated into the operating system.


my translation relies pretty heavily on nciku and zdict. that'll never change, but it's awesome to finally have native chinese lookup.

apparently, 小词典 Small Chinese Dictionary has been around for awhile. it uses the great CC-CEDICT so you can also add and edit entries. you need 10.5+ and it will occupy about 85mb on your hard drive.
