Submit New CEDICT Entries
You can use this form to submit new candidate entries to include in
future CEDICT releases. The form will check the submissions to make
sure they are in proper CEDICT format and that the number of Chinese
characters for each entry matches the number of pinyin syllables. It
also checks each character's pinyin.
CEDICT Submission Guidelines
The basic format of a CEDICT entry is:
Chinese [pinyin] /English definition 1/definition 2/
First is the Chinese word (with no spaces) followed by a single space.
The pinyin should follow in the format below:
- It should be in square brackets with no other punctuation.
- It should have a space between each pinyin syllable.
- Each pinyin syllable should have a tone number. Use 5 for the light tone (qing sheng).
- For pinyin that uses the umlauted-u (), represent it with a u
followed by a colon (u:).
The English definition(s) should be have a slash at beginning and
end and between separate definitions for the same Chinese head word.
For example:
中文 [zhong1 wen2] /Chinese language/
