About this application

GoldenDict-ng is a dictionary lookup program: a user enters a term and the program queries the dictionaries configured in it, then displays the matching entries for reading. The -ng suffix marks it as a continuation carried on by the GoldenDict-ng Community, so packaging and development decisions come from that group rather than from a single original author.

The record lists the license as GPL-3.0-or-later, which means the source may be studied, modified, and redistributed under the same terms, including by downstream distributions. Platform coverage in this listing is Linux only; builds for other operating systems are not described here.

Points such as which dictionary file formats are read, whether remote or online sources can be consulted, and which interface toolkit is used are outside the data in this record. Those are worth confirming in the project's own documentation before adopting it for a translation or reference workflow.
