Yes, the problem is related to wordtrans not having any dictionary installed. Wordtrans currently does not provide any dictionaries by itself, you have to download them to use them (or generate them from other files). Also, this is because the default file use is that from babylon. You can switch to other dictionaries (in the 'Dictionaries' menu entry) and the error will (mostly) disappear (you will see the "file not found" error on the CLI, but wordtrans will work). Unfortunately, there's not much I can do (save provide an empty file). For the moment, I'm going to upload a new version describing where you can find dictionaries. Please see the README file attached which hopefully clarifies this issue. In the next upload I will provide an empty dictionary file so that error disappears (although you will not be able to make wordtrans work in a useful way without a dictionary). I'm leaving open this bug as a reminder that wordtrans-data should provide a dictionary or remove the configuration files for dictionaries that are not available in Debian (i.e. the babylon one) and put them in the examples/ directory.

README file for wordtrans in Debian ----------------------------------- Wordtrans in Debian does *not* provide any dictionary by itself, the wordtrans-data holds some common configuration and pixmap files but no dictionaries. You can get dictionaries for Wordtrans in http://wordtrans.sourceforge.net. (or http://www.escomposlinux.org/rvm/wordtrans/dictionaries_en.php) The dictionaries available from Wordtrans include those provided by the Internet Dictionary Project (http://www.june29.com/IDP/IDPfiles.html) amongst other sources. In Debian you can also install the 'i2e' package and use the dictionary that the package provides. Or you can install the wordtrans-dict meta-package to have install a dict server and dictionary files available in Debian. If you don't install any dictionaries you can still use the 'dict' interface wordtrans provides. If you don't have a properly configured dictionary, you will see an error similar to: Error: app_translator not initialized To fix this make sure you a) have a proper dictionary installed b) have selected that dictionary in the 'Dictionaries' menu entry ----------------------------------------- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:25:25 +0100
