Introducing GoldenDict

What is GoldenDict? It's a freeware dictionary look-up program. It allows instant one-click look-up of words and presents the definitions in nicely formated, hyper-linked form. It's available for various platforms including Windows and smartphones.
You can read about it on their website here:

I'm recommending it here because it's free and it's able to read Babylon dictionaries. In my conlanging, for years, I have been making my electronic dictionaries in Babylon glossary format (.bgl). Bablyon is a proprietary software and happens to cost real money for a license. Now anyone on a tight budget can access my Bablyon dictionaries. I would say that it's not quite as nice or slick as Babylon, but it does the job.

Babylon is available here:
