The language data comes from Wiktionary, a project which aims to describe all words of all languages in English. In one single application, multiple languages can be installed, currently there are 40+ languages, but with more than 5200 languages in the Wiktionary project there is ample opportunity to include more in future releases. Regular (monthly to bimonthly) updates ensure the dictionaries always stay current. Etymologies help to make connections between new and already familiar words in any language installed, and example sentences show words and phrases from everyday usage. To facilitate faster language learning, your search history is available locally and fully searchable. If you use AnkiMobile you can export flashcards directly from an entry.
Babylonary
Read full descriptionHide full description
Babylonary is an app for consulting the online dictionary "wiktionary.org". Wiktionary is available in many different language versions: For example, "de.wiktionary.org" exists as a German version or "en.wiktionary.org" exists as an English version. Each of these versions tries to be a dictionary of all languages of the world in its own language. However, the individual versions are very different in scope, so that the information is different or often not available at all. Therefore, Babylonary allows you to query several Wiktionary versions simultaneously, i.e. in your native language and in foreign languages that you understand. You can specify the Wiktionary versions to be queried under "Select languages". This app is freeware. It comes with absolutely no warranty. Use it at your own risk!
