Chinese English Dictionary is an application that, as its name suggests, gives you the possibility to translate words from Chinese into English. The dictionary is available in a built-in, offline database, which means that you don't have to be connected to the Internet in order to translate text.

For example, this app comes in handy for school projects where it's necessary to practice your Chinese or English vocabulary. However, you should know that the reversal operation isn't possible, so you cannot use this app to translate words from English to Chinese.

The database of this language translator contains over 100,000 entries, and it enables you to hear how both Chinese and English words are pronounced, a feature which required Internet access.

Developed as a Metro app for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 computers, including touch-supported devices, Chinese English Dictionary can be downloaded and installed from the Windows Store.

The Modern UI is elegant and neatly organized, and it features a search function that displays results in real time (as you type). All you have to do is enter a word or expression in Chinese, view suggestions, and click an entry to find more about the translation.

It's possible to search in Pinyin, with or without tones. Traditional and Simplified characters are displayed for all entries in the dictionary.

If you double click the screen (left mouse button), you can copy text to the Clipboard and ask the app to speak it. Unfortunately, the text-to-speech function didn't work in our evaluation, as the application failed to identify the active Internet connection.

All things considered, Chinese English Dictionary provides you with a well-organized dictionary for translating Chinese into English. However, its text-to-voice feature didn't work in our case.
