GoldenDict

Here you can find all the previous download announcements. You are always recommended to use the latest version, though.

See changelog for details.

• 32-bit Windows installer, 16MB - just run it to install the program. It doesn't include any local dictionaries, which are to be downloaded elsewhere. Wikipedia and websites would still work, though.
• 32-bit Windows En-Ru-En installer, 78MB - this one in addition to the program itself has two dictionaries (Apresyan En-Ru and Smirnitskiy Ru-En) and English word pronunciations. It allows trying out the program instantly without searching for any dictionary content. If you are upgrading from the previous version, do a complete uninstall first, otherwise the program won't automatically use the content.
• Source code, 2.7MB - for Linux users and those who want to build the program themselves. Consult Building latest version from source
  instructions for building hints. Linux users should better just use the means of their distribution to install the program.
• En-Ru-En content, 62MB - En-Ru-En content for Linux people, see description above. Untar it to /usr/local/share/apps/goldendict. Remove any previous program configuration if you want the content to be hooked up automatically: do rm -rf ~/.goldendict.
• Linux users: Linux versions usually come without morphology files. You can use system myspell/hunspell files, but there are better versions with more stems available specially for GoldenDict. Download them here. Unzip them to a separate directory and change morphology path in the program to point to it. Do not replace your system myspell dictionaries with those files - they don't add any new words, just more stems.
• If you need a good English dictionary with a clear and free license, get this one, a full version of WordNet 3.0 specially formatted for GoldenDict.

See changelog for details.

Binaries are available for 32-bit Windows and 32-bit x86 Linux. The source is available as well.

• 32-bit Windows installer, 13MB - just run it to install the program. It includes English/Russian/German morphologies, but no local dictionaries, which are to be downloaded elsewhere. Wikipedia and websites would still work, though.
• 32-bit Windows En-Ru-En installer, 72MB - this one in addition to the program itself has two dictionaries (Apresyan En-Ru and Smirnitskiy Ru-En), English word pronunciations (WyabdcRealPeopleTTS converted to .lsa format) and English/Russian/German morphologies inside. It allows trying out the program instantly without searching for any dictionary content. If you are upgrading from the previous version, do a complete uninstall first, otherwise the program won't automatically use the content.
• 32-bit x86 Linux tar.bz2 archive, 12MB - untar it to any directory and run goldendict.sh script there. Since at the moment of the release the Qt 4.5 library still isn't widely deployed, it is bundled there locally (taken from the Debian binary releases), but some other libraries might still be missing. Check the output and install any extras it would require. Those are at least libvorbisfile, libz, libhunspell and libxtst.
• Source code for Linux, 440K - for those who want to build the program themselves. This version is meant for Linux builds, it doesn't have any unneeded winlibs bundled. Consult 'Building the latest version from source' instructions below, as the process is similar. If you use Qt 4.5.3 or higher, please use the latest Git version instead to avoid crashes.
• Source code for Windows, 2,8MB - for those who want to build the program themselves. This version contains all third-party libraries in compiled form inside to ease Windows builds. Consult 'Building the latest version from source' instructions below, as the process is similar.
• En-Ru-En content, 62MB - En-Ru-En content for Linux people, see description above. If you use precompiled version, untar it to the program's directory. If you've built the binary yourself, untar it to /usr/local/share/apps/goldendict instead. Again, remove any previous program configuration if you want the content to be hooked up automatically: do rm -rf ~/.goldendict.
• If you are interested in English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese lookups, you can download better morphologies for those languages here. They contain more stems and therefore work better for dictionary lookups. Do not replace your system myspell dictionaries with them - they don't add any new words, just more stems. Just put them to a separate directory and change morphology path in the program to point to it.
  Note that Windows installers already contain some of those files, but source packages don't. The 'En-Ru-En content' package above also includes them.
• If you need a good English dictionary with a clear and free license, get this one, a full version of WordNet 3.0 specially formatted for GoldenDict.

New release with a lot of changes. See changelog for details.

Binaries are available for 32-bit Windows and 32-bit x86 Linux. The source is available as well.

• 32-bit Windows installer (mirror), 11MB - just run it to install the program.
• 32-bit Windows En-Ru-En installer (mirror), 71MB - this one in addition to the program itself has two dictionaries (Apresyan En-Ru and Smirnitskiy Ru-En), English word pronunciations (WyabdcRealPeopleTTS converted to .lsa format) and English/Russian Myspell dictionaries for morphology inside. It allows trying out the program instantly without searching for any dictionary content. If you are upgrading from the previous version, do a complete uninstall first, otherwise the program won't automatically use the content.
• 32-bit x86 Linux tar.bz2 archive (mirror), 12MB - untar it to any directory and run goldendict.sh script there. Since at the moment of the release the Qt 4.5 library still isn't widely deployed, it is bundled there locally (taken from the Debian binary releases), but some other libraries might still be missing. Check the output and install any extras it would require. Those are at least libvorbisfile, libz, libzip, libhunspell and libxtst.
• Intel Mac OS X .dmg file (mirror), 30MB - a version for Mac OS X. Only Intel Macs are supported at the moment.
• Source code for Linux (mirror), 341K - for those who want to build the program themselves. This version is meant for Linux builds, it doesn't have any unneeded winlibs bundled. Consult 'Building the latest version from source' instructions below, as the process is similar.
• Source code for Windows (mirror), 2,7MB - for those who want to build the program themselves. This version contains all third-party libraries in compiled form inside to ease Windows builds. Consult 'Building the latest version from source' instructions below, as the process is similar.
• En-Ru-En content (mirror), 61MB - En-Ru-En content for Linux people, see description above. If you use precompiled version, untar it to the program's directory. If you've built the binary yourself, untar it to /usr/local/share/apps/goldendict instead. Again, remove any previous program configuration if you want the content to be hooked up automatically: do rm -rf ~/.goldendict. You are advised to use system-wide Myspell files though - those usually reside in /usr/share/myspell/dicts or somewhere around.

New release. The following changes are noteworthy:

• Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other MediaWiki sites are now supported to perform lookups in.
• Paths to search for the dictionary files can now be recursive.
• Ability to move .dsl resources into a subdirectory, or pack into a .zip archive.
• Groups won't be losing dictionaries anymore when dictionary files are moved around the directories.
• Other improvements and fixes.
