The legibility of all the texts contianed inside is very good, so you should have a quite pleasant experience while using gTongue Offline Dictionary.
Download the dictionaries you need on the go
The app relies on a set of references that can be obtained from an online database and when running the utility for the first time you will have to get some in order to be able to use the application.
The transfer and the installation are done pretty quickly, but there is no way of selecting multiple items to get at once, so you will have to add the dictionaries one at a time.
The formats supported by gTongue Offline Dictionary must have StarDict content and be archived as ZIP, GZ2 or TAR.GZ files. Also, there is a dedicated section inside the app from where you can remove the dictionaries or add new ones.
Search for word definitions and translations
The smart engine that allows you to carry out the queries offers some quick suggestions as you type and the best thing about it is that it will search all the installed dictionaries in one go.
Going through the results is straightforward and by swiping left or right from the field right under the search box you will be able to switch the dictionary in use and thus see all the explanations or translations that are available for your query terms.
