About this app

The fastest and most multi-format dictionary app on the market. Fully supports Lingvo, Babylon, StarDict, Lingoes and Dictd dictionary files. Articles shown with full formatting, colors, images and sounds. Lookups are blazing fast. You can now carry all the dictionaries you want together with you on your Android device!

Note: the app is a shell and comes with no dictionaries, much like a music player does not come with music. You use the files you already have, or the ones you can get on the internet.

This is the paid version, with no ads and unlimited dictionaries. There's also a free version available - try it out first before purchasing this one.

Supported formats:

* Lingoes .LD2 files
* Babylon .BGL files
* ABBYY Lingvo .LSD, .DSL, .LSA and .DAT files
* StarDict files
* Dictd files
* Hunspell .AFF/.DIC morphology files

Just copy those files on your SD card, in the GoldenDict directory!

Features:

* All content is shown in full formatting, with images and sounds. We don't compromise on quality.
* It's fast. It flies when you have a dozen of dictionaries, and can handle hundreds of dictionaries simultaneously fairly well, too.
* The program will understand your typing no matter how you do it - forget about diacritics, case or punctuation!
* In-program popup mode is supported. Configure your e-book reader to use "ColorDict 3" as your dictionary interface, and GoldenDict will pop up.
* Translating from clipboard is easy - just press and hold "Search" button on your device!

Permissions:

* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - to create index files for your dictionaries
* WAKE_LOCK - to ensure you phone doesn't sleep while indexing is in progress (it's a one-time operation)
* READ_PHONE_STATE - for license check.

This is a full, paid version. It has no ads and can support an unlimited amount of dictionaries! If you need to test-drive the program, either try the free version first, or just purchase this paid version now and then ask for a refund within two weeks (see below).

SUPPORT AND REFUNDS: If you have any difficulty or problem, instead of leaving a negative review, write an email to support@goldendict.org, and we'll sort out everything. Every customer is entitled to an extended full refund within two weeks from the day of purchase, no questions asked. To get a refund, just write an email to support@goldendict.org telling us so. Enjoy!

A must-have app for users of desktop multiple dictionaries. Alas, after my Android update to 9.0 and/or latest security patch GoldenDict no longer works! The history shows, I select a word or type a new one in, but the next screen is completely blank! Help, please! Also, if there is any kind of "grammar" module so foreign words not in the nominative case could be looked up without having to chop off their endings, that would be great.

UPDATED JULY 29. Do an update of webview and the font issue is fixed! It's probably Webview's fault, though it will still be preferable to have an bundled webpage viewer, like Colordict. Also, the most full proof way would be write something in Server/Client architecture, so that one can run a server in Termux or some other Linux emulator, and client on a browser. This way there will be no worries about all the Scoped storage shenanigans!

Crashes on loading too much data at one time, like over 75MB. Scans for dictionaries not just in GD folder but ALL folders connected with device (setting doesn't work). No erroroneous-file detection. No redundant or similar-version-file detection. No button or ability to easily go back/forward in word search after app is suspended. No word-chain function (like in AbbyyLingvo). To avoid crashes I had to USB-connect and copy over little by little. Next-entry function not fluid. Otherwise good.
