A free, offline dictionary with support for German, English, French and other languages.
LingoPad is a small, but very useful offline dictionary which comes pre-installed with support for German-English and English-German dictionaries. Not only that, but you may also access other, less comprehensive dictionaries from the web site including French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, Norwegian and Arabic.
Unlike other dictionaries, LingoPad may be used in an airplane or on the go since it doesn't rely on a connection to online services like Google Translate.
LingoPad offers an attractive user-interface with a standard left-panel with word lists and the right-panel providing a dictionary with translations and a useful thesaurus.
Since LingoPad is a totally free product, there are really no complaints except for its perhaps more limited capabilities in languages other than German and English. Other languages available are not for English translations, unfortunately.
