But, it drives me another question : I read yesterday everything I could find about the protocol and the documentation about dict and dictd in my linux box and on the site dict.org. They say that the dictfmt program sorts the nouns according to the locale : when I build an russian-french dictionnary, this is quite annoying !! the caracters are not in the same order than the french locale of my linux box. Is it not possible to have an unicode sort order, without changing the local "locale", so it would be possible to build dictionnaries in a consistent manner ???? And, I would like to test my "wordinspect2" program which is completely UTF8 and only "utf8". Does one dict server exist which does really and completely followthe standart ?? (localy or on a internet-site) I will need this to test my program. thank's for all your answers .
