What Is CC-CEDICT (Creative Commons - CEDICT)? CC-CEDICT is a continuation (under a Creative Commons license) of the CEDICT (Chinese English DICTionary) project, which was to create an online, downloadable (as opposed to searchable-only) public-domain Chinese-English dictionary.

CEDICT was started by Paul Andrew Denisowski in October 1997. For the most part, the project is modeled on Jim Breen's highly successful EDICT (Japanese-English dictionary) project and is intended to be a collaborative effort, with users providing entries and corrections to the main file.

As of 2021-03-27, CC-CEDICT contains 119,440 entries. Each entry has 4 components: Chinese word in simplified characters, Chinese word in traditional characters, pinyin for the Chinese word, and English translation. Here are 3 example entries from CC-CEDICT:

Trad.   Simp.   Pinyin   English
