Online dictionaries currently only support Unicode (default encoding), %GD1251% and %GDISO1%, please add support for more encodings, I'd like to at least have GBK (Simplified Chinese), Big 5 (Traditional Chinese) and SHIFT JIS (Japanese).

Here's an example, the following link is the official dictionary of Tawain's Ministry of Education, it uses Big 5.

Code: Select all

http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?idx=dict.idx&cond=[Big 5 Word]&pieceLen=50&fld=1&cat=&imgFont=1

The query word should go in place of [Big 5 Word], here's an example word for you to try: 狐狸精. The result should be like this:

Code: Select all

http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?idx=dict.idx&cond=%AA%B0%AFW%BA%EB&pieceLen=50&fld=1&cat=&imgFont=1

Hi,

Actually it supports:

%GDWORD% --> UTF-8
%GD1251% --> Windows-1251 / CP1251
%GDISO1% --> ISO-8859-1
%GDISO2% --> ISO-8859-2
...
%GDISO15% --> ISO-8859-15
%GDISO16% --> ISO-8859-16
%GDBIG5% --> Big-5

And please issue a ticket https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues/new to add the missing encodings.

Thanks
