Download Lexitron 2.6 Thai – English dictionary

 

LEXiTRON ™ (เล็กซิตรอน) is a Thai <-> English dictionary produced by the National Computer and Electronics Center, Thailand (NECTEC). There are two versions of the dictionary (sound / no sound) that you can download and install for free.

LEXiTRON is maintained by Thai staff and its users can suggest new words and definitions. This may explain how some of the more unusual words, spellings and sometimes vulgar slang has worked its way into the dictionary. Nonetheless, for a free dictionary the overall quality is quite reasonable.

A note for software developers and lexicographers

Previous versions of LEXiTRON store the dictionary data in plain text files, but LEXiTRON 2.6 stores its data using Apache Derby, a Java relational database management system. After we installed and configured Apache Derby on one of our test computers, we were able to query the LEXiTRON 2.6 database using SQL commands.

The dictionary data files have been used by many websites and dictionary programs.

    • What do you mean?

      This is the full version and most users have been able to install it without problem on Windows XP. What operating system are you using?

  1. ดีมากครับ เพิ่งได้โหลดมาลองใช้ดู เคยใช้ชุดของ ส. เสถบุตร ซึ่งต้องเสียเงิน และไม่ค่อยเวิร์ค คำศัพท์บางคำก็ไม่มี ผมลงกับ Windows 7 x 64 บิท ยังไม่เจอปัญหาครับ แต่ยังไม่ได้ใช้จริงจัง

    • Sorry, but we don’t. Dictionaries that transliterate Thai words into English have a very limited use, and you’ll find that no one will be able to understand what you say. Try learning Thai — it might not be as difficult as you imagine.

  2. Dear Admin, thank you for this precious dictionary. I used to use it on a Linux mobile phone. Is this new version still good for such o.s.? Moreover, will it work with Android too? Or maybe do you have another version for that o.s.?

    Thanks in advance from Italy.

    • Max,

      This version is for Microsoft Windows only, and as such will not work unless your phone is capable of running Windows applications. There used to be an old version on the NECTEC website for Linux, but I don’t recall whether that was pre-compiled (binary version) or required you do compile it yourself. Either way, I suspect that you will have problems getting it to run on a mobile phone.

      I’m still using an old Motorola Motorokr E6 Linux-based phone which has a T/E dictionary installed. I believe this uses the data set from the NECTEC dictionary and works reasonably well. Staff in the Motorola shop installed this for me several years ago but I’m not sure whether this is still an option. Have Motorola phone shops now closed down in Thailand?

      • Dear Admin,

        Ooh, that’s the same phone I was mentioning before! So I think we’d the same application on such mobile….

        But now even that program I can’t open anymore (maybe it’s corrupted), so maybe you can help me in find where I can download it again…

        Can you tell me the link?
        Thank you Adm, you’re very kind.

        • Sorry, but I don’t have a link for downloading the Motorola application which is installed on my phone.

          The About menu option says “Developed by Motorola, Database Licenced by SO SETHAPUTRA” — so maybe you could use that information when searching. Otherwise, you might just arrange a trip to MBK or Pantip Plaza if that’s convenient.

  3. I really like this program, and appreciate all the work that has been done on it since I started using it when it was version 1.x. I just downloaded and installed 2.6 without the sound in a new Acer notebook with Windows 7 Professional, 4GB RAM and 500GB Hard Disk space. But when I tried to change the font, here is what happened.
    1. I clicked Option | Font to get the Select Font dialog.
    2. I customized the font settings leaving Tahoma as the default font, and increasing the font size to 20 and checking the box for bold. I also changed the font color to a dark blue. Then I clicked OK.
    3. The Select Font box closed, but also popped up again, and no changes had been made in the main Lexitron window. So I repeated what I did in Step 2 above. I had to do this two more times before the the font changes actually worked.
    4. When I closed the Lexitron program and reopened it, the font settings were back at the default: Tahoma Font, Font size 14, no bold, no italics, black color.
    Is this a Windows 7 compatibility problem? I have not tried any legacy settings yet, or running it as administrator, although I am using an account with administrator rights.
    Cheers/howiem Bangkok

  4. Further to my last post above, I just tried uninstalling Lexitron 2.6 and reinstalling it in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, but the exact same problem occurred as I described above.

  5. Good morning! Thank you for this free program. I am using Window 7. Do you think this dictionary will work with this operating system?
    thanks
