Darkelve Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm looking for an open-source multi-language dictionary for Win32. Included languages should at least be English, French and Dutch. If possible German and Spanish as well. Know of any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 In Mandrake I use kdict, that uses the dict protocol. On the dict.org website are listed a lost of clients (including windows). I haven't tried those but I guess they work just as well as kdict.

Darkelve Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I believe that's more than you asked for :) Well, actually I asked for a Win32 port (windows) in my post... But thank you for the information anyhow. I think it might be nice for me at home as well. The reason I ask is, someone sent a mail explaining she put a handy program for translating on our department's shared disk, but she also added it's 'illegal' (which means pirated I guess). With an Open Source program, this wouldn't be something to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 On the dict.org website are listed a lost of clients (including windows). Client Software Compiled for Microsoft Windows The Perl version of the DICT client (dict.pl) has been run under NT and will probably work under any version of Windows that has an appropriate Perl installation. Stephen Moshier provides binaries based on the Cygnus tools. See the the bottom of his web page. D. Mason wrote an addon for Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4 and up) that allows a right click to look up a word. Aleks Ozolins wrote the Magical Jellybean Dictionary, a DICT client for Windows. The source code is available, too. :deal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Woops, yer right. I read Kdict and kind of read over the rest... :o My apologies. The Explorer plug-in looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
