A summary of received answers so far: opendict-plugins-lingvosoft (courtesy of Baruch Siach) It is a plugin for opendict, that for each word connects to the lingvosoft website to get the translation. The lingvosoft website has online dictionaries which the plugin probably uses: http://www.lingvosoft.com/English-Hebrew-Dictionary/ While english to hebrew translation works, the reverse is not true. I have not managed to use hebrew->english translation even from the online pages.
kbabeldict (courtesy of Dotan Cohen) The application does not exist in ubuntu. Moreover it is not general use translation software, but rather an specialized dictionary designed to assist translators to translate application strings. babylon firefox plugin (courtesy of Tomer Cohen) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7235 It adds an input window on toolbar and when you type in your word, it redirects you to a page on babylon site. Also there is no hebrew->english translation in sight. In addition I have also found free dictionaries for stardict: http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/index.php But they are ridiculously small, with 3100 entries in english->hebrew and 2401 entries in Hebrew->english dictionaries So far I see no acceptable solution... Makes me sad. -- Arie On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 13:18, Baruch Siach <bar...@tkos.co.il> wrote: > Hi Arie, > > On Wed, Apr 01, 2009 at 01:10:00PM +0300, Arie Skliarouk wrote: > > An immigrant from Windows asked me about hebrew-english and > english-hebrew > > dictionary for Linux.
