# Cedict project

Cedict is a free Chinese-English dictionary project. The base is used by many projects, on desktop, web and mobile platforms.

I wrote some programs (nodejs/javascript) to transform the text-based format in formats more suitable to my projects; there exists a php prgram to convert the original format into a xml format.

My programs format the dictionary into a json and .csv format.

I process the parts written in numbered pinyin to accentued pinyin; here is an example, with the original line and the CVS formatted one:

     K金 K金 [K jin1] /see 開金|开金[kai1 jin1]/

     K金	K金	k jīn	see 開金|开金[kāi jīn]

Here is an excerpt of the json formatted file, with the same part as above:

    {
        "hanzi": "K金",
        "traditional": "K金",
        "pinyin": "k jīn",
        "translations": [
          "see 開金|开金[kāi jīn]"
        ]
    }
