Features

Zhudi allows you to search a Chinese (simplified or traditional) word and display its pronunciation in pinyin with tones. Plus, it is also able to provide its Zhuyin (Bopomofo) pronunciation. It also provide the meaning of the word. Even if the dictionary family weren't made for a translation from Latin to Chinese, you can still do it if you want.
