Chinese-English Dictionary

Most computer/online chinese-english dictionaries are stupid because you can't exactly type the chinese word out easily, and if you don't know the word how the heck can you know the pronounciation?

This is why this one is awesome. AFAIK its the only online dictionary that uses the TRADITIONAL way to look up Chinese words.

I think the pulldown menu for the number of strokes afterwards is a bit cumbersome (should just have a field to enter it in) but overall this is definately the dictionary I'm looking for. It might take a few seconds to look up a word but that's still nothing compared to finding the stroke >> finding the word>> turning to the page of the word >> looking for the damn word you're looking for inside a chinese dictionary.

One significant problem is that the dictionary is really simple and doesn't include phrases associated with the word, which can have significantly different meanings from the word. :/ I guess in that case we can use this one first and then identify the word, then copy-paste it into another dictionary? Blah. WELL ITS PROGRESS.

Someday, I will be able to read all my chinese manga perfectly due to technology, but not today. :(

EDIT: What we can do is look up the word using stroke first, then get the pinying and form the phrase and write it into the normal chinese-english dictionary provided by the same site on this page:
