Galnet Dictionary vs QDict
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Galnet Dictionary
The Galnet Dictionary is a Wordnet-based multilingual dictionary with translations and synonyms for 10 languages: Galician, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque, Spanish, English, German, Latin, Italian and Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified Chinese). This multilingual dictionary contains the Galnet lexical database (http://sli.uvigo.gal/galnet/) which is being developed by the Computational Linguistics Group at the University of Vigo (http://sli.uvigo.gal) and is available from 2011. The goal of the Galnet development is integrating the Galician language into the interlingual lexical-semantic network of WordNet (https://wordnet.princeton.edu), according the EuroWordNet model. Galnet is part of the Multilingual Central Repository (http://adimen.si.ehu.es/web/MCR) and the Open Multilingual Wordnet (http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/iliomw/omw). Galnet contents can be searched with several web applications and can also be downloaded in RDF and LMF formats with a free license (http://sli.uvigo.gal/download/SLI_Galnet/).

QDict
QDict support 3 ways to search: `Glob-style pattern matching`, `Fuzzy query` and `Full-text` search. Stardict dictionaries are not included in the application and should be obtained separately. Dictionaries should be placed in `/sdcard/QDict/dicts`. Each dictionary should be placed into a separate subfolder, for instance `/sdcard/QDict/dicts/dict-name`. It's recommended to only use alphanumeric filenames. This fork of [the original application](https://github.com/namndev/QDict) was created to incorporate patches, which were not responded to by the upstream and. The fork is not actively developed, i.e. no new features or bugfixes are planned, however, all PRs are welcome and will be reviewed.
