Hello, I'm using in my FreeBSD laptops and in my other Linux phone an application 'stardict':
StarDict is a Cross-Platform and international dictionary written in Gtk2. It has powerful features such as "Glob-style pattern matching," "Scan selection word," "Fuzzy query," etc. WWW: http://www.stardict.org or now also 'goldendict': The project aims to create a feature-rich dictionary lookup program. It supports: * Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources; * StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn dictionaries; * Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files; * 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; * ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed separately, or be referred to from .dsl files. WWW: http://goldendict.org/ (copied from its pkg-descr in both cases). Both are using dictionary files which are stored locallyc, for example $ find .stardict/ .stardict/ .stardict/dic .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2 .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict.ifo .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict.idx .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict.dict.dz .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict.idx.oft .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict(2).idx.oft .stardict/dic/stardict-duden-2.4.2/dict.idx.clt ... and provide as well access to resources in Internet. Is there a similar app in Ubuntu which can use the syntax of the stardict database files? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, [email protected], http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-170-4527211 "Wenn der Mensch von den Umständen gebildet wird, so muß man die Umstände menschlich bilden."
