Public bug reported:
There is GoldenDict application for searching in dictionaries like
Stardict, but written in Qt 4.5 and, unlike Stardict (which was dropped
by developer), it is actively developed.
The latest release has the following features:
* Use of WebKit for an accurate articles' representation, complete with all
formatting, colors, images and links.
* Support of multiple dictionary file formats, namely:
o Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources
o StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn dictionaries
o Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files
o ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations. The
files can be optionally compressed with dictzip. Dictionary resources can be
packed together into a .zip file.
o ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed
separately, or be referred to from .dsl files.
* Support for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other MediaWiki-based sites to
perform lookups in.
* Ability to use arbitrary websites as dictionaries via templated Url
patterns.
* Hunspell-based morphology system, used for word stemming and spelling
suggestions.
* Ability to index arbitrary directories with audio files for pronunciation
lookups.
* Full Unicode case, diacritics, punctuation and whitespace folding. This
means the ability to type in words without any accents, correct case,
punctuation or spaces (e.g. typing 'Grussen' would yield 'grüßen' in German
dictionaries).
* Scan popup functionality. A small window pops up with the translation of
a word chosen from another application.
* Support for global hotkeys. You can spawn the program window at any
point, or directly translate a word from the clipboard.
* Tabbed browsing in a modern Qt 4 interface.
* Free software: GNU GPLv3+ license.
