WM-Dict Version 1.2 Now Available

Sorry to be a couple of weeks late with this, but version 1.2 of WM-Dict is now available.


What’s new?


  • Chinese Character lookup: The Chinese dictionaries now support lookup by Chinese character, in addition to the ability to search for Chinese definitions with Pinyin and English.

  • Search the definitions: Some of the language dictionaries include sample sentences for various translated terms. WM-Dict now supports searching these definitions.

  • Smart Scrolling: In the search box or in the list of available terms, if you press the left or right arrow key, the definition window will scroll the content window up and down. This makes it easier to read a definition that is longer than the available space of the window without having to use the mouse.

  • Chinese/Serbian language dictionary: A new dictionary. The authors think it is the first of its kind.

  • Definition window improved: The definition window (the window where translations are displayed) now allows you to copy definitions easily into the clipboard or to lookup new words in WM-Dict based on the definition.

  • And about a dozen bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Note that the old Chinese/English dictionary files are not compatible with this new version, so the new Chinese/English dictionary files will have to be installed for it.
