Does anybody know about the popularity of the dictionaries ? Or just the download numbers ?
Sourceforge offers download statistics, see http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=137316&ugn=dictionarymid&type=prdownload (http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=137316&ugn=dictionarymid&type=prdownload). [I never checked them for each dictionary]
Well, of course these sourceforge statistics do not count the downloads from other sites. For example CEDICT on GetJar was downloaded more than 300000 times (http://www.getjar.com/mobile/11249/dictionary-for-mids-english-chinese/ (http://www.getjar.com/mobile/11249/dictionary-for-mids-english-chinese/) - if these statistics are correct).
And then of course there is the question how many installations there are per download.
And popularity is not not measured in number of downloads !
Well, does anybody have a feedback on popular dictionaries ? Or just on download numbers ? Or other related information ?
Regards,
Gert
P.S., to avoid a misunderstanding: in my opinion the most valuable dictionaries are probably not those with the highest download numbers. I am very proud that the DictionaryForMIDs project hosts rare dictionaries that are not found in other places (... thanks to Jeff and all the others !!). And I myself spend time to set up 'exotic' dictionaries because I believe these give real value to people !
Dear administrator I do agree with you that Popularity of dictionaries is not measured in number of downloads . I think it is measured by the quality That It should be easily understandable for the users .
