Kdict is a graphical client for the DICT Protocol.
|
||
|
|
It enables you to search through dictionary-like databases
|
||
|
|
for a word or phrase, then displays suitable definitions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kdict trys to ease basic as well as advanced queries. A separate list
|
||
|
|
offers a convenient way to deal with the enormous number of matching
|
||
|
|
words that a advanced query can return.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The remainder of Kdict's user interface resembles a web browser:
|
||
|
|
For instance, you can jump to the definition of a synonym by
|
||
|
|
simply clicking on the highlighted word. The back/forward functionality
|
||
|
|
is also implemented, enabling you to quickly go back to the result of
|
||
|
|
previous queries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kdict is able to process the content of the X clipboard, so it's easy
|
||
|
|
to combine Kdict with your web browser or text editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kdict is now a real client, no additional software is needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your machine is behind a firewall, has no permanent internet
|
||
|
|
connection or the server of dict.org is too slow for you, you can
|
||
|
|
set up your own local server, all you need is available at
|
||
|
|
http://www.dict.org.
|
||
|
|
The advantages of a local server are optimal performance and
|
||
|
|
the ability to install additional databases of your choice.
|
||
|
|
The handbook contains a small tutorial for installation
|
||
|
|
and links to databases.
