Kingsoft Power Word 2006 Chinese-English-(Japanese) Dictionary Collection


Power Word contains a huge collection of various Chinese/English and Chinese only dictionaries, running in a common framework. It also displays the English meaning of Chinese and Chinese meaning of English words in any electronic text when moving your cursor on the word. It has both a Chinese and an English interface, depending on which Windows you install it, English or Chinese.

Unzip, mount or burn "PowerWord2006.iso", then start "autoexec.exe". From the splash screen displayed choose the installation of Power Word 2006, then install the upgrade patch "Powerword_2006_SP1.exe" (also included in this .rar).

During installation take care to uncheck all the radio buttons on the second (or third) setup screen displayed at the beginning of the setup, otherwise it will put you a lot of rubbish on the desktop. And at the end of the installation of PowerWord 2006, when on the closing screen it displays only one word (I don't remember which, but it begins with "b…") with a checkbox, then DO UNCHECK IT, because otherwise it installs an adware on your PC.

Other good materials for learning Chinese (I do not include here the books linked to Avax from the excellent www.hanzi.ru and is predecessor www.polusharie.ru that are far above the level of "just learning", and are listed in their respective sites anyway. But I cannot miss to refer to chinesepod.com that is, in my opinion, the best on-line Chinese course.) Where I do not indicate the uploader, it was me:

Colloquial Chinese. The complete course for beginners
Colloquial Cantonese. The complete course for beginners
Rosetta Stone, Chinese Mandarin, parts I-II (Helden)
Dr. Eye 6.0 Chinese/Japanese/English Translation Software
