Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can download and use them for free for your own reading and learning. No account, no email address, no ads.

Every dictionary comes in formats for Kindle, Kobo, KOReader and other StarDict apps (GoldenDict, Onyx Boox, PocketBook with KOReader, many Android readers), Xteink with CrossPoint firmware and the Yomitan browser extension. There is also a spreadsheet version, and you can look up every word on this website.

The entries are written by AI language models and checked automatically, partly by a second, larger model. Most of them are right, but some are wrong or incomplete. On each dictionary page you find our measurements, for example the result of a spot check by hand. Please use the dictionaries as a reading aid, not as an authority.

Yes, that is one of the main ideas. The dictionaries are built from real texts and include the word forms that appear in them, plus generated forms. Tapping “fjorden” leads to “fjord”, tapping “went” leads to “go”.

To keep bots from downloading everything over and over, your browser solves a small calculation before each download. It takes a second or two and needs no clicks. It runs on our server and in your browser only: no third-party service, no cookies.

No. We set no cookies and use no analytics or ads. We count how often each file is downloaded per day, just a number without any information about who downloaded it. See the privacy policy.

Please share a link to the dictionary page instead of the files. Then everyone gets the newest version. Republishing, selling or bundling the files with other products is not allowed without our permission. See the terms of use.

Yes. A free JSON API lets you look up words and search translations from your own app or tool. No key needed, see the developer page.

Whenever a dictionary has improved noticeably, we publish a new version. The version number is part of the dictionary’s name on your device and is shown on its page. To update, download the new file and replace the old one.

Maybe! Write to [email protected] and tell us which language you are learning and in which language you would like the translations. Requests help us decide what to build next.

Thank you! Send the word, the dictionary and what is wrong to [email protected]. We collect reports and fix them in the next version.
