JMdict is a large machine-readable multilingual
Japanese dictionary. As of August 2013, it contained
Japanese–
English translations for more than 170,000 entries, representing around 200,000 unique headword–reading combinations. Because the dictionary files are free to use (with attribution), they have been widely adopted on the
Internet and are used in many
computer and
smartphone applications. This project is considered a standard Japanese–English reference on the
Internet and is used by the
Unihan Database and several other Japanese–English projects.
