Software Packages and Servers using the JMdict and EDICT Files

(This list is far from complete. Feel free to add to it.)

NB: Many of the packages & servers listed here use or include older versions of the files.

EDICT

An alternative solution is to download a ZIP archive with Jedicut 2.4.2 containing all Jedicut files, and to drop them into the directory of your choice. Warning: with this method you can have error messages under certain versions of Windows, at the launch of Jedicut. These messages are related to the presence of the io.dll. Originally JEDict was developed as Japanese-English dictionary, therefore it supports all conceivable methods of kanji lookup. JEDict has internal text editor, multilingual user dictionary, JLPT list viewer and web browser with contextual word translation.
