Thanks for the post about my dictionary. I just released a version for the iPad too. It is stand-alone and needs no internet connection. It also includes the 1835 dictionary.

• Dictionary App For Mac Os X 7

Dictionary.app is a built-in app on Mac OS X. Unfortunately it does not have Arabic support. The good news is that Arabic support can be added easily, just follow these steps: Download Arabic-plugin app then Install it (This app just copy Arabic.dictionary plugin to /Library/Dictionaries directory). Jul 26, 2011 In this update, we've changed the name of our Mac translator to Universal Translator. Along with the new name, we are committed to keeping Universal Translator 100% free, so tell your friends! In addition to the name change, we've also eliminated some bugs which resulted in crashing for a minority of users. Even if you buy a Mac in France, English and Japanese are the only languages available in Dictionary.app. MacOS X is the same no matter where it is sold and only comes with English and Japanese pre-installed at the present time. Just loaded OS X Lion and discovered that my Merriam Webster dictionary was not compatible with this software, so I purchased the OED. It's a fine dictionary based on outstanding lexicography. But the app description should explicitly note that the audio pronunciations are those of British speakers, not American.

Apr 24, 2014  Apple’s system-wide dictionary on OS X is one of the more covert productivity tools available to Mac users. It’s more than just the Dictionary app, for instance you can add words to your personal dictionary to prevent spellcheck on things like Simplenote or foreign names like Penderworth.

There are more modern dictionaries available, but none of them are free and none of them work with the MacOS X Dictionary.app. These dictionaries from 1935 and 1835 are hardly 'useless'. Any new French words since 1935 are likely to be borrowed from English anyway. Plus, if you do happen to be reading anything from the 18th and 19th centuries (there were at least a couple of good books during that time) you are quite likely to encounter old words that will not be found in any modern dictionary.

I built my dictionaries from the same XDXF sources that the StarDict dictionaries were built from. My Dictionary plugins, and especially the iPad app, have undergone extensive cleanup and indexing that you won't find in any StartDict version.

Finally, I would love to build some similar dictionaries for other languages. All I need is some kind of public domain database source that I can legally use. Such databases can often be found on government and university web sites. You need to be able to speak the language in order to track them down and French is the only language I know well enough to research.
