About

This application is a multilingual Japanese dictionary that does not require an internet connection. Imiwa? was created using the amazing JMdict files from the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group based on the work of Jim Breen on the EDICT project. While some definitions are available in 4 languages (English, French, Russian and German), only the English translation is guaranteed for all entries in the JMDict dictionary. Initiate a search in any of those 4 languages, in Japanese or in romaji and imiwa? will do the rest. imiwa? Also includes a rich database of kanji (KanjiDic), examples (from tatoeba.org) and conjugations as well as tools suitable for beginners. You may use the Traditional Chinese character recognition keyboard included in the iOS system for drawing kanji on screen or the new built in keyboard. If your device supports Apple Intelligence, imiwa? will leverage it to fill the gaps for your language. Always verify content generated by AI. imiwa? is and will always remain free and fully functional. This version introduces optional in-app purchases to let you express your support — no features are ever locked behind a paywall.
