MDBG Pinyin dictionary may look ugly yet functional
8Nov2009 Filed under: Recommended Sites, User Experience Design Author: adminWhile browsing the web in a more relaxed pace during weekend, TG find a Chinese-English dictionary with pin-yin audio. This is what I desperately need for a while. The user interface design of the chinese-english dictionary is super super simple. To be more exact, it rarely has any design but yet very functional.
MDBG Chinese-English Dictionary is composed of word dictionary, character dictionary, stroke training, and translate etc. More importantly, it offers Pinyin - Chinese characters pronunciation
Users can use the chinese and english dictionary’s Java-based notepad to write chinese word or simply type in english keyword to find the corresponding pin-yin Chinese.
Its audio so far is the smoothest and clearest one TG has found. Each Chinese character is linked, thus expanding our scope of learning and understanding of contextual keywords.
TG has bookmarked it and will use it frequently for sure.

About this blog
Kelikuru.com is 嘰哩咕嚕, a Chinese term basically means rumbling. The idea comes across TG's mind while watching a cartoon show on TV few years ago. We walk through our life,day by day ; speak to many people, known or unknown, year after year and we may not notice that there are so many wonderful things passing by. Writing a blog can literally leave my foot-prints in the internet world, help me keep the memory. At this moment, a big chunk of my life is closely aligned with user-centric design, user research, web-based environment both in Hong Kong and China. Perhaps I may not be like that tomorrow, I may be in other setting, have nothing to do with usability, but who knows what's going to happen next?

Thanks for recommending the Chinese-writing tool. Just tried it out. Very easy to use
