Chinese-English dictionary recommendations

Michael B2Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:32:59 -0600
Can anyone recommend a good Chinese (pinyin)-English (and English-Chinese) dictionary? I would prefer a paperback version that is easy to carry around. Bonus points for a dictionary that also calls out the difference between words typically used in mainland China and those used in Taiwan (which is where I'm going). Thanks...

There is no better computer dictionary then this one!
However, I'm concentrating on Japanese now, after 7 years of Chinese
You can download a trial version.

Paperback? I have no idea but Besta makes great electronic dictionaries. Mine (BESTA MT-7000) has multi-language sentences of which Taiwanese is included.

I found this awesome site http://www.yellowbridge.com/. It not only has the translation but also the stroke orders, pronunciation and examples of combined characters.

a good online free dictionary is MDBG. Just do yahoo search and it is the first or second one that comes up. It has dictionary and a sentence translator and also you can even listen to the pronunciation.
