The project aims to create a feature-rich dictionary lookup program. The latest release is
1.0.1
You are welcome to look around, download the program, provide feedback, and join the cause.
Features
The program 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:
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.
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.
Ability to run arbitrary external programs for audio playback or content generation (text-to-speech, man pages etc) (use the latest Git version for this)
Support for looking up and listening to pronunciations from
forvo.com
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.
Cross-platform: Linux/X11 and Windows + portable to others.
Free software: GNU GPLv3+ license.
Mobile version
A commercial
mobile version
is now available for Android devices. Using it is the best way to support this project financially.
