It would seem that you need some dictionaries: >From sdcv homepage: > SDCV is simple, cross-platform text-base utility for work with > dictionaries in StarDict's format. This does not suggest that sdcv actutally *has* these dictionaries contained within it. But likely whatever is missing can be found at the stardict site http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ Dictionaries would seem to be found at http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php which at the top of the page has links to several sites containing stardict dictionaries, and then the page itself gives instructions on how to insert them into the program; or perhaps /stardict-ed/ , a fork of stardict which is now known as wisedict (found at http://wise.sourceforge.net/ ) > WiseDict is a computer dictionary based on StarDict may also contain some dictionaries by default. Hope this is helpful in some way. Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
