GoldenDict NG AI

https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict-ng/releases

GoldenDict NG, the actively maintained successor to the original GoldenDict, ships a native Apple Silicon build. The documentation explicitly provides separate macOS-arm64.dmg and macOS-x86_64.dmg downloads for M-series and Intel Macs respectively, so you should download the arm64 version from the GoldenDict NG Releases page on GitHub. The standard installation process involves mounting the DMG, running the installer, and then configuring your dictionary sources through the application settings. If you are still running the older original GoldenDict build under Rosetta, switching to GoldenDict NG's native version will improve performance and future-proof your setup before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027).
