Though Google has 1,260,000 results, most of those are topic about the English word breadwinner and its equivalent to Chinese. There are not many native Chinese content about 养家糊口的人

I'm not sure if this kind of definition belongs to CC-CEDICT, but for native Chinese speaker learning English, it's handy if an English-Chinese dictionary software can do a Chinese word lookup for an English word using CC-CEDICT dictionary data, e.g., breadwinner -> 养家糊口的人

It would only be "handy" if a substantial proportion of the English language is covered. That would require a team of skilled bilingual lexicographers to generously devote thousands of hours to defining English words in Chinese ... for free. If you are able to put together such a team, I suggest you create a separate project – an English-to-Chinese dictionary – rather than trying to graft it onto a Chinese-to-English dictionary (CC-CEDICT).

In any case, at CC-CEDICT, we don't have the skills, the time or the will to create an English-to-Chinese dictionary. Let alone doing it for free.
