Thought I'd share them.
Some are rather niche, some you need to be a bit loose on defining as offline (Yomiwa and HanYou), and some only had physical releases.
But since some of those are older than me and I still use them, maybe others can find use in the information too.
And with how many potential languages combinations there are, plus with how degraded DRM-free software culture had become, finding those handful few below was a task. Any other suggestions?
The physical-only, released as CD-ROMs
Michaelis - Windows 95~XP:
- ๐ง๐ท โ ๐บ๐ธ
- ๐ง๐ท โ ๐ช๐ธ
Delta Translator 2.0 - Windows 95~XP:
- ๐ง๐ท โ ๐บ๐ธ
*Translates phrases but translations can be rather lackluster; haven't found the 3.0 edition yet to test
Dictionary Barsa - Windows 95~XP:
- ๐ง๐ท (meanings, synonyms & antonyms)
*All four working on Windows Vista, both VM and bare metal.
The Android ones
Yomiwa - Google Play:
- ๐ฏ๐ต โ ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฑ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ท ๐ต๐น ๐ท๐บ ๐ช๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช ๐น๐ญ
ยน Not all of it works offline, but for what does and from what I tested, can be set up on a vanilla Android VM, and then you cut internet access and never turn it on again
ยฒ Also finds names by reading form, OCR (limited; yet to test the paid version), on-screen handwriting detection and word detection in phrases
Ordbรธkene - Google Play:
- ๐ณ๐ด (meanings, inflections & conjugations; bokmรฅl & nynorsk)
Royal Spanish Academy (RAE)'s Dictionary of the Spanish Language (DLE) - Google Play:
- ๐ช๐ฆ (meanings & conjugations)
*I tested the update from 2022, from when it was paid, and forgot to update, so don't know how the current version is (hopefully not like RAE's Catalan dictionary, a glorified browser with external databases).
Babo - Google Play (delisted):
- ๐ฐ๐ท (hangul) โ ๐บ๐ธ & ๐ฐ๐ท (hanja)
HanYou - Google Play:
- ๐จ๐ณ โ ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ท ๐น๐ญ ๐จ๐ณ *Same thing as Yomiwa - from the same creators
QuickDic - F-Droid:
- Uses pairs of languages as its databases for dictionaries, so too many to reasonably list. Databases can be downloaded from within the program or from iirc Gitlab or Github
The Python ones
Cutlet - from GitHub:
- ๐ฏ๐ต โ romaji
Korean to Romaja script, from a Grok response:
- ๐ฐ๐ท โ romaja
from korean_romanizer.romanizer import Romanizer
text = input()
romanizer = Romanizer(text)
print()
print(romanizer.romanize())
ยน Copy the script to a txt and save as a .py file, e.g. hangul_to_romaja.py, then run with Python, e.g. python3 hangul_to_romaja.py
ยฒ Requires the korean_romanizer library - install by running pip install korean_romanizer
