That's right

The title is: An English Chinese Dictionary application.

Involves integrating the WordNet and Cedict databases.

WordNet is a basic relational database of words. Each word has an id, words with the same id are synonymous. Have defined a class which holds synset (group of synonyms) and then it's other relations from the synset id.

Cedict is the chinese stuff, basically it has english equivalents.

When a user inputs a word, i have an algorithm which removes ambiguous words and searches for a best match in Cedict. One with the highest value is paired with the synset object.

Using a mysql database to retrieve the data, hashmaps for local storage and a dynamic tree to display the structure of the resulting database.

Project itself was quite interesting, not enjoying the write up tho.
