Hi there, this link doesn't work for me. Can you please check again?

Thank you.

opps...dead link rectified

I've dl-ed it from another link provided by the official website. Thanks anyway. It is really useful for me.

The file in the link is corrupted at the time I download. For those who are interested, you may head to the official download page. Beware, it's in chinese, not to worry much because the interface and download links are located in a standard manner.

The official download page is http://www.lingoes.cn/zh/dictionary/downsoft.php?id=21

Hmm, can it translate from chinese to english and vice versa?
I can't read mandarin chars, pardon me.

how to download it
can totally direct a link to the download
all in mandarin, i dont know how to read

just click the link with 'Live-Share' wording, or another 2 links next to it also can.

after download
just install it ?

if u already have Lingoes installed, just double-click on the dictionary file; if success, it will prompt you "successful to install dictionary", do not close the window yet, remember to check "Add to Index Group" and "Add to Cursor Translator Group" and click OK

Thank you sotong168!!

This will help to improve and make my England stronger.

Thanks for posting this.
