http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I am looking for an offline solution to look up words (translation with also determin. der,die,..). I would like to translate a word from/to english. Code: apt-cache search spanish ncurses dict does not return anything. There are really no dictionaries (offline) for Linux ? Seems bad ...:( (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Ncurses German or Spanish <-> English dictionary?

I am an English speaker who is trying to improve my Spanish comprehension, so I want to be able to download spanish language books to my ereader, and when I come across a word I don't know, I'd like to be able to touch it, and have the translation appear.

I am currently using gnome on Fedora 11 and English is the default language on the system. I was able to figure out how to make it possible to add Spanish characters when I type (like ñ, ó, é, etcetera). I also figured out how to install Spanish dictionaries for the software I use that commonly does spell checking.

Hi,

I am learning Shell scripting on my own.

I am trying to write a script which is used for language translation.

Before starting writing Script, I want to write down all the steps to be followed.

My Approach:

1. Download the dictionary(Spanish to english) to convert given file from Spanish to English. --My question here is, how do we link the downloaded dictionary to script.

TweetI believe most of the computer users use dictionaries a lot. I have been using gnome-dictionary for a while. Its default settings are to fetch information over the Internet, but it can be easily configured to work offline.

I'm looking for a offline traslator for ubuntu 12.04. I like GoldenDict, but I can't find dictionaries. I have looked for them on google a lot but i can't find anything. I know about babylon dic .bgl, I've downloaded some of them from babylon.com but it's a .exe file, I tried every app to extract it (7zip, rar, ark etc...) and finally I succeeded but there were no .bgl files in the archive.

Which is the best offline dictionary for Ubuntu ?

It should be like Cambridge or Oxford dictionaries with pronunciation.

The dictionaries, I found did not have enough examples of the sentence in use nor do they tell a lot about meaning.
