bing-dict.el

A minimalists' Emacs extension to search http://www.bing.com/dict. Support English to Chinese and Chinese to English.

Setup

You can install via melpa.

If installing this package manually:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/bing-dict.el")
(require 'bing-dict)

Usage

You can call bing-dict-brief to get the explanations of you query. The results will be shown in the echo area.

Here is the screenshot:

bing-dict-screenshot

You should probably give this command a key binding:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c d") 'bing-dict-brief)

As for More Features…

This extension aims for a quick search for a word. I don't plan to parse all the sections of the search results. If you want to view the complete results of your query word, I suggest using external browser to do this. The following code could partly achieve the goal:

(browse-url
 (concat "http://www.bing.com/dict/search?q="
       (url-hexify-string
        (read-string "Query: "))))
