hi, I compiles today the "new" dictd (1.8) and it doesn't work out of the box with utf8 strings in input . I tried with some russian words in, utf8 and, it's better than before( before, all teh dictionnary was returned), but, now, it says : "not found".
unfornately not better.! maybe, am I wrong but ...
