HanDeDict
HanDeDict ( Chinese 漢 德 詞典 / 汉 德 词典 - "Chinese-German dictionary", short 漢 德 / 汉 德 - "Chinese-German") is a free Chinese - German online dictionary , the dictionary files of which are under a Creative Commons License are licensed. HanDeDict has been available on the Internet since February 17, 2006 and was supported by the Chinese-German Society eV Hamburg . In August 2015 the original site was closed. Surprisingly, the website has been back online since July 2017. The website is fully functional for the exclusive use as a dictionary with the last entered data records. However, various features of the original page, such as the "user login function", the "entry and editing function" of the data records as well as the "word of the day" and "words of the week" functions of the website were not reactivated and remain useless.
As an alternative, since November 2015 HanDeDict can be searched and edited on the HanDeDict @ Zydeo website by Gábor L. Ugray. HanDeDict is still provided on this website under the same Creative Commons license and is further developed by the community. The text file, which is updated nightly, is available as a direct download and as a Github repository.
The name "HanDeDict" is a word game based on the Chinese-English translation of the Chinese-German dictionary . "Hands" is an abbreviation of " Hàn yǔ Dé yǔ" - 漢語德語 / 汉语德语 - "Chinese language German language" - and " Dict " the abbreviation of "Dictionary", English for "dictionary".
At the annual conference of the Fachverband Chines eV 2006 in Berlin , HanDeDict was awarded the Friedhelm Denninghaus Prize for promoting Chinese teaching in German-speaking countries as one of two winners. "
