Hello Chinese students,
I am going to spend a few days in Beijing in 4 weeks time and would like to have a small dictionary Chinese - English (or other language) for my iPhone. Just so that I can deciffer something. I don't plan to learn or speak any Chinese.
Do you know a reasonably good and free-of-charge dictionary that you could recommend?
Thanks!

PS: If you know of a free Korean - English one that would come in handy as well. Going there next week.

Pleco. I'm pretty sure you can import the German dictionary for free, too. An English one is included of course.
And if you change your mind on learning Chinese, just buy the addons you need. OCR might come in handy to, if you have iPhone 3gs or 4.

As wb said, Pleco's the best. The OCR thing that wb mentions allows you, by way of your iphone camera, to hold the phone up to characters and get Pleco to auto translate for you. You have to pay a little for that add on though. The base program/dictionary is free though.
