GoldenDict-ng is a next-generation desktop dictionary lookup program forked from the original GoldenDict, rebuilt with Qt6 and WebEngine. It supports many dictionary formats (MDX, DSL, StarDict, Zim), full-text search via Xapian, Anki integration, and popup lookup across Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Use cases

  • look up words in local dictionary files like MDX and StarDict
  • search across multiple dictionaries at once with combined results
  • full-text search inside large dictionary collections
  • pop up a quick word lookup window while reading
  • export looked-up words to Anki flashcards
  • view dictionaries with modern HTML/CSS rendering on high-DPI screens

When to choose

  • you need a free, cross-platform desktop dictionary reader for formats like MDX, DSL, StarDict, or Zim
  • you want to query many dictionaries simultaneously in one interface
  • you need full-text search, Hunspell morphology, or Anki integration
  • you have very large dictionaries (over 4GB or millions of headwords)

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple web-based translation service rather than local dictionary files
  • you want a mobile or browser-only dictionary app
  • you need a lightweight CLI lookup tool instead of a GUI application
