The Mandarin First Search!
This Chinese/English dictionary provides a searchable interface for the CEDICT dictionary originally put together by Paul Denisowksi. Searches can be conducted by Chinese (using either the GB, Big5, or Unicode encodings), pinyin, or English. Results will show the Chinese word, the pinyin representation of the word, and the English definition. If you don't have Chinese fonts installed choose the "Display using gifs" selection.

- You can get more info about this dictionary at the CEDICT website.
- This dictionary will not do phrases, only words.
- Pin yin needs to have spaces between syllables.
- Case is not important, but spelling is.
- Tone numbers not required, but help.
- There are no bad words in the dictionary.
