For those of you who only use the Japanese (or Chinese) features of this dictionary, there's a MUCH better alternative to this program. Try JEDict. Unlike WordLookup, it allows unlimited search of the two primary dictionaries, even if the program is not registered.
It also allows you to look up individual kanji using a number of different methods, including handwriting input.
It's shareware, but there are no registration nag warnings.

I used to use Wordlookup until I found this program. If you're willing to pay for the program, or even if you're not, JEDict is a MUCH better choice.

... and I think $14 is not too much to pay.
However, Tensai is free (for now) and has some different features. See:

While I have Wenlin and JEDict on my system, I keep LiveDictionary open on my computer almost constantly. It's a very light-weight program, takes up few resources, and has all the features I need for day to day use. The developer has been very responsive -- implementing feature requests at a far faster rate and in greater number than the developer of most other Mac programs I use. I registered this program after extensive evaluation and have never regretted my decision - and I'm working on a constrained student budget.
Compared to the Dragon Dictionary mentioned below, that only supports Chinese, and doesn't let you use the latest CEDict release - that dictionary is getting updated frequently these days, so WordLookup is your best bet on OS X for accessing CEDict. WordLookup also displays pinyin properly, using tone marks, not numbers. Export, both via copy-paste and printing, is very refined.
Users of multiple dictionaries will enjoy being able to set keyboard shortcuts - cmd-1, 2, 3, etc.
