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
