Hi Some time back i had posted on how to use the normal dictionary in offline mode (this is Dictionary 2.28.1)
However there is another similar dictionary which seems, to me, to perform better (Xfce4 Dictionary 0.5.3) link http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-dict i think this will be available in some repos, because it came built into the ultimate edition 2.5 . The key diiferences that i can make out are a. Its easier to set up for offline (of course one needs to install all the offline dicts and the dict client and server - last two i think ) To set up , locally, go to preferences In the General - select Dictionary Server In Dictionary Server - type in 127.0.0.1 where the server is mentioned and finally in web service at the lower section there is a URL again type in 127.0.0.1. Ready to rock and roll B. the best and biggest difference is when one types a word to get the meaning it provides responses from all the available dictionarys , seems confusing but in the Gnome dict the meanings responses are provided from only the first dict and one must then navigate to each individual dict to get the appropriate response. hope its useful ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
