Galnet Dictionary vs Kaku
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/).

Kaku
Kaku is a fast, powerful Japanese dictionary that stays on top of all your apps. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to recognize kanji on the device screen for you (rather than the slowww tedious process of looking up individual characters manually), making it perfect for Japanese learners who want to study by reading raw manga, play untranslated games, and so on without the hassle of switching apps.
