CC-CEDICT is a continuation of the CEDICT project. The objective of the CEDICT project was to create an online, downloadable (as opposed to searchable-only) public-domain Chinese-English dictionary. CEDICT was started by Paul Andrew Denisowski in October 1997. For the most part, the project is modeled on Jim Breen's highly successful EDICT (Japanese-English dictionary) project and is intended to be a collaborative effort, with users providing entries and corrections to the main file.

CC-CEDICT's content can be changed in the following ways:

• Through the MDBG Chinese-English dictionary (single entries only):
  http://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary (search the entry to be changed in the dictionary and click the pencil icon in the ⋮ menu in the result table)
• Through the CC-CEDICT editor website (both single entries and batches):
  http://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php

Changes will be reviewed by editors.
