Chinese -> English Dictionary for Boox eReaders
I converted the latest MDBG Chinese-to-English and HanDeDict Chinese-to-German dictionaries into a compact format suitable for eReaders that support the MDICT (.mdx) format, including Boox, Meebook, and Likibook.
These dictionaries are updated regularly, and I aim to revise them every few months.
