Description

Get definitions for words in 30 languages and boost your language learning efforts with flashcards exported to AnkiMobile. Based on free data, without ads, data collection, tracking or in-app purchases.

The language data comes from Wiktionary, a project which aims to describe all words of all languages in English. In one single application, multiple languages can be installed, currently there are 30 languages, but with over 4300 languages in the Wiktionary project there is ample opportunity to include more in future releases.

Etymologies help to make connections between new and already familiar words in any language installed, and example sentences show words and phrases from everyday usage.

To facilitate faster language learning, your search history is available locally and fully searchable. If you use AnkiMobile you can export flashcards directly from an entry.

Ancient Greek! Excellent addition to excellent program!

JustCritic on

I am delighted that ancient Greek (and modern, too,but especially ancient) has come to Moti, but this version is still quite buggy on MacOS. It does not allow search in Greek (αλλότριος can be found using English characters as “allotrios” but not in Greek) and crashes even when searching in English. For example, I can’t search for περισπωμένως in ancient Greek, but can begin to search in English, to a point. I can search up to “peri” but Moti crashes after that. It is not clear if Moti needs or requires accents and diacritics to function. If so, its utility would be compromised, since the keyboard combinations to enter all the markings are cumbersome and time consuming, Entering approximations in English/Latin characters would be quickest, but only if the program doesn’t crash each time the search string gets to be longer that 3-4 characters. Anyway, thanks for making this available, and good luck with the bug fixes!

Love this app

Hdhehenensowp on

Does exactly what I need for reading middle English and learning German. Please add Ancient Greek!

An excellent app

nikleet on

This is a very clean and useful language reference. It has most of the features I need, but I would greatly appreciate the ability to save words to exportable lists, and I would suggest for synonyms or similar words to be displayed when the user selects a word.

Feature request: a favorites list

burnsac100 on

This is my favorite dictionary reference to use. Would it be possible to add words to lists to remember them? You can somewhat already do that by adding a note like “fav” to a word. But then when reviewing the notes, you cannot go directly to the definition, which is somewhat inconvenient. Allow one to create different lists would be nice as well. Perhaps one would like a general list of all words, words they’ve already mastered, and a list in which they are currently working on. Doing this would also save on the unnecessary data storage in the attachments table in the SQLite database, by removing the need for a mimetype and a blob. When instead only the name of the word is needed. Please and thank you very much

A Hidden Gem

As a lover of words I’ve been searching through the App Store looking for dictionary apps for years. I stumbled upon this one after looking for “wiktionary” apps. This is the best dictionary I’ve found yet—and it’s totally free and add free too! Please keep updating! Your work is appreciated!

The best dictionary app on the App-Store.

TOm BraDy is FloRida on

I found this app by chance when I had a fleeting interest in Esperanto, and I am quite glad that I did, because I use it every day now, both for my native English and learning! If it isn't too much to ask, would it be possible to add Modern Greek and Modern Standard Arabic? Also, if you could fix it, the IPA seems to be missing for Italian. Thank you for a wonderful service, and for free, too! Cheers!

About the best Wiktionary app there is

Rethliopuks on

With multilingual support (only shows the section of that language) and offline dictionary, this is a lifesaver for me as I live in China and can't access Wiktionary without a VPN. Feature requests: 1) for Russian and Ukrainian, showing the verbal aspect would be great (whether the verb is perfective/imperfective, and even better if the counterpart is also shown). This is important because the aspect determines the meaning of the verb, e.g. whether it's "I'm doing" or "I'll do". 2) for Russian, Ukrainian, Latin, and maybe some other synthetic languages, it would be nice to show the inflection table (conjugation/declension). This might not be needed for agglutinative languages like Korean or Turkish, where the inflections are almost all regular. But in synthetic languages words often have irregular forms. Alternatively, it would suffice to show the basic grammatical forms/notes listed on Wiktionary next to the entry form (such as for Lat. "habeo", habere, habui, habutum, 2nd conjugation, or for Lat. "corpus", corporis, 3rd declension) -- a good substitution if tables would be unwieldy to display/implement. 3) For all languages: some apps like Google translate would automatically switch the keyboard depending on the language you select. Would be very handy to add to this app.

Almost got it all! Incredible!

Andrew Solanto on

Amazing Wiktionary app. For those who need translations and definitions on the go and without mobile data, this is perfect. And it’s pretty, too! Only ding is conjugation charts—hope those get added sometime!

Incredible app

Kyleisleuk on

As a linguist, I love Wiktionary and use it daily. Having this offline, simple, version with only the languages I use is amazing. I never write reviews, but I really adore this app. If I could suggest two things, I would love for Hebrew to be added, as well as the conjugation/decision for verbs and nouns to be shown. I’m not sure if this would be possible, but it would also be nice to provide the Wiktionary audio recordings that are sometimes available instead of the text to speech that is provided in the app. Besides that, it’s a great app. With those additions, I’d never visit the web version of Wiktionary again. Thank you for creating this!

etymologies!

bougre on

A dictionary with etymologies is always something to cherish and be thankful for. A multilingual dictionary with etymologies is truly a gift for which I’m thankful. Are there any plans to add Japanese? It would be great if it would be added at some point, along with Chinese, given the overlap in chinese derived vocabulary shared with already incorporated Korean and Vietnamese.
