About GoldenDict

GoldenDict-ng is an open-source dictionary lookup program forked from the original GoldenDict project. Its main job is to look up a word and show results from several dictionaries together. The project describes itself as cross-platform, and the -ng in its name stands for next generation. It is a good fit for people who keep several dictionary files and want one place to search them.
