Android 6.0
Goldendict is also available for Android. Avery e1210 manual. Beginning with Android 6.0, the mobile OS supports full Tibetan rendering, so all Tibetan dictionaries can be used on Android 6 devices, see Tibetan support in Android 6 Marshmallow. The mobile GoldenDict app however does not support online dictionaries.
Installation of local dictionary data
Note:The following dictionaries are based on the Rangjung Yeshe Tibetan dictionary created by Erik Pema Kunsang and the Rangjung Yeshe Institute and the editors at Rangjung Yeshe Wiki. They are published with the kind permission of Erik Pema Kunsang.
- In order to help improving future versions of the dictionary: if you cannot find an entry in those dictionaries above, please create an (empty) entry on http://rywiki.tsadra.org. This way a definition can be added later. If you know the definition yourself, of course you can directly add it to http://rywiki.tsadra.org.
Installation:
- Download the three uncompressed RangjungYeshe dictionary files: RangjungYeshe2003.dict, RangjungYeshe2003Uni.idx, RangjungYeshe2003Uni.ifo
- Copy those three files into a directory 'Tibetan Dictionaries'
- Start GoldenDict and select the option 'Edit / Dictionaries..'. Select the tab 'Sources' and 'Files'. Press the 'Add' button and select the directory 'Tibetan Dictionaries' that contains you dictionary files. 'Rescan now' makes the dictionaries available.
Note: In order to access the dictionary, you'll need to type Tibetan. Check Preparing Computers for Tibetan Editing on how to install Tibetan keyboards and fonts.
Installation of online Tibetan dictionary access
In addition to local dictionary data, GoldenDict can access wikis with Tibetan dictionary information. The RigpaWiki contains a Tibetan dictionary that can be integrated with GoldenDict:
- In GoldenDict, select 'Edit / Dictionaries..'. Select the tab 'Sources' and 'Wikipedia'. Now add a new entry with name 'Rigpa Wiki' and address 'http://www.rigpawiki.org'. You need to enable the wiki-dictionary by clicking the check-box in front of the RigpaWiki entry.
- The Tibetan-language Wikipedia can be added as 'Tibetan Wikipedia' with address: https://bo.wikipedia.org/w
- The online version of Rangjung Yeshe's dictionary http://rywiki.tsadra.org/ can be added as: Name: 'Rangjung Yeshe Wiki', Address: http://rywiki.tsadra.org
- Additionally, you can add another entry for 'http://www.tibetanwiki.com' for the Tibetan Wiki.
- Click 'Ok'
- Now you can access both offline dictionaries and online dictionaries at the same time.
Note Because the internet screenplay pdf. : Searching different online sources in Tibetan sometimes requires slightly different Tibetan phrasing: to search for སེམས་ some wikipedias expect སེམས (no final tsek), and some སེམས། (final shad). Standard is usually སེམས་ (with final tsek).
A list of Wikipedia (Mediawiki) sites that can be added to GoldenDict:
| Name | Address | Comment |
| RigpaWiki | http://www.rigpawiki.org | Rigpa's dharma wiki with Tibetan-English glossary |
| Wiktionary | https://en.wiktionary.org/w | A multi-language dictionary and etymology |

Resolving problems
XML Error message
Goldendict Windows
Some wikipedias (e.g. English standard wikipedia and wiktionary) have changed their protocol to https. If you are getting errors (Query error: XML parse error: unexpected end of file at 1,1), then simply change the wikipedia URL to use https: e.g., for Wikipedia English, use: https://en.wikipedia.org/w
Windows users can't type Tibetan in GoldenDict
Windows and the TISE-input method seem to be incompatible with GoldenDict. The recommended Windows Tibetan input method is Denjong Tib Type. Alternatively, if you want to use Windows & TISE with GoldenDict, you can type the search-phrase in some other program (e.g. notepad) and then copy&paste the search term into GoldenDict.
