Dixit - Romanian Definitions Dictionary
Ro|En
Dixit is a cross-platform application for consulting off-line a Romanian definitions dictionary (DEX). It features a browser-like interface, with cross-references between definitions, and the capability of adding new definitions from a server. The definitions are provided by the DEX online project.
Dixit is written in C++ using the non-commercial versions of the QT library and can be used under MS Windows or under GNU/Linux.
The name of the program is an acronym for dicţionar explicativ integrat, which is Romanian for "integrated definitions dictionary". However, the true origin is the latin phrase Ipse Dixit, which emphasizes that an assertion comes from some authority. For the program, it's a good subliminal message ;).
The database contains more than 373,000 definitions from various sources. The most important source is The Definitions Dictionary of the Romanian Language (DEX 1998). All the 65,542 definitions from DEX were added to the database by volunteers of the DEX online project.
The following Romanian dictionaries are also complete, thanks to the Romanian company Siveco and the publishing house Litera Internaţional: Thesaurus (2001), Antonyms (2002), Orthographic Dictionary (2002), The New Definitions Dictionary of the Romanian Language (2002).
The latest Qt4 version is 9.11.4, released on October 31, 2009. The latest Qt3 version is 9.11.3.
