[词典讯] 古代汉语大词典[上海辞书出版社]

Gu Hanyu Da Cidian: Classical-to-modern Chinese dictionary from 上海辞书出版社, known as both the 《古汉语大词典》 and the 《古代汉语大词典》。 (same contents, different cover) $29.95. We've put a LOT of work into cleaning this up (in fact it's the most we've ever spent on a dictionary data file conversion), but there are still a few limitations:

Classical Chinese - we've finally licensed a Classical Chinese dictionary, 古汉语大辞典 by 上海辞书出版社 - big / complicated title to convert but we're hoping to have that out by next summer.

Our is from 上海辞书出版社 - it's known as both the 古汉语大词典 and the 古代汉语大词典 depending on the edition. So if you want to avoid redundancy you could consider getting the others and skipping that one. Then again, it's one of the best we've seen so it might be worth owning in print as well :)

Also in the pipeline are a 成语词典 (though it's a 多功能 rather than a super-comprehensive one, since that seems to be the thing people are more interested in), two very nice 学生词典s, two new bidirectional C-E ones (4th edition of Oxford Concise + the expanded Tuttles), and two other more general-purpose monolingual ones that we haven't said much of anything about yet. Plus the Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine by Wiseman + Feng and possibly another related database to go along with it, but those are primarily of interest to TCM practitioners.

古代汉语大词典 data files should *finally* be arriving in our office next week, after a massive conversion effort that involved creating about 2000 images for custom characters that don't exist in any font / encoding standard and digging through various databases to find Unicode code points for about 5000 other characters that didn't exist in any font at the time the dictionary was made.
It'll still take a little while to get this all turned into a Pleco database (please don't ask how long), but the biggest portion of the effort is about to be done with at least.

Pleco Software Thanks!
(ironically enough, mikelove's wife is a second-generation Hungarian and agrees with you completely on that - pity there aren't really any Chinese-Hungarian dictionaries out there)

Emese Balatoni There are some Chinese-Hungarian web-based dictionaries ou there, altough in my opinion these are not as good as the Chinese-English dictionaries.

Pleco Software Our general thinking on that is that we ought to be making C-E dictionaries more accessible to non-English speakers, either by building in an on-demand Google Translate feature (pull up an entry and tap a button to translate it - Google charges us per-...查看更多

Daniel Da Silva Añaña I know you guys don't want us to ask, but anyways... Any updates on how long will this take?  This is the only thing I still need my portable electronic dictionary for. As soon as you guys have this update I can finally become a paying Pleco costumer and abandon my old dictionary
