Portable Alternate Dictionary

Portable Alternate Dictionary is a simple yet very useful piece of software which you can rely on for creating lexicon from scratch, be it in your own language or a different one, adding the words and definitions yourself.

Using standalone tools has its perks

The application can be run immediately after download, as its installation is not necessary; just decompress the archive and launch it from the already existing shortcut or the corresponding executable.
As a result, Portable Alternate Dictionary can easily be stored and run from a USB stick or other similar memory devices, being able to work with it on any compatible system, without leaving a trace in its registry.

Create your own dictionaries with minimal effort

The application comes with a German language lexicon comprising numerous entries, but its strength resides in the fact that you can build your own from scratch. All you need to do is input a term and its definition(s) or equivalent.
The more entries you add, the more use you can draw out of it, particularly when doing translation jobs, as it will spare you from having to do the research all over again just to find one word.
Moreover, you can use Portable Alternate Dictionary to start your own thesaurus or term base for a certain field, (for instance financial, agricultural, educational, literary, and others), which can serve not just translators but also professionals or students in that area of activity.
In addition, any dictionary you create can be exported to a standalone EXE file, making it usable on any system, independent of any program, which can come in handy in a variety of situations.

A practical lexicon builder

Overall, Portable Alternate Dictionary is a reliable and intuitive application meant to help you create your own dictionaries or build upon existing files, enriching your vocabulary while also simplifying future work by keeping difficult terms handy.
