GoldenDict online & offline dictionary Subject description: reads multiple dictionary formats |
|
GoldenDict homepage:
http://goldendict.org/
Quote: | The project aims to create a feature-rich dictionary lookup program.
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. |
Downloads:
GoldenDict 1.5.0 RC portable
- extract and click to run (linux partition recommended, otherwise click the AppRun file inside the folder to start the application)
- should work in any puppy and in other linux distributions
- has its own set of qt 4.7 libs so installing qt is not necessary for this application, however you may need to install gstreamer (see packages below)
- want to install it as a .pet? then get the .pet version (installs in directory /opt, find it in the Documents menu)
GoldenDict 1.5.0 RC for Tahrpup
GoldenDict 1.0.2 main PET you should find it in the category Documents but for some weird reason it may instead appear at category Personal of the menu
GoldenDict 1.0.5 PET packaged by Puppus Dogfellow for Quirky Tahr
Qt4 SFS required
GStreamer PET required to play sound in entries that contain soundfiles
Offline Dictionary Databases
Recommended to install before launching GoldenDict for the first time, otherwise you'll have to activate them manually at Preferences. If you know about other offline dictionaries that can be used with GoldenDict, post a link to them here.
WordNet offline English dictionary PET (monolingual)
DRAE (Royal Spanish Academy) offline Spanish dictionary PET (monolingual, for personal, non commercial use only)

A site with dictionary databases, but it seems to be left out since 2011:

How to add WordReference online dictionaries Subject description: to GoldenDict |
|
To add WordReference online dictionary search, for example English-Spanish, go to Edit > Dictionaries (or press the F3 key), then in the Websites tab click Add. Type the name of the search service, for example WordReference (EN-ES), and in the URL field paste this link:
Code: | http://www.wordreference.com/redirect/translation.aspx?w=%GDWORD%&dict=enes |
Where %GDWORD% is actually a replacement for %s, you must replace this in any search sites you add for GoldenDict to be able to use them. Check the box for your new search and click Apply, then click OK.
From Spanish to English it would be:
Code: | http://www.wordreference.com/redirect/translation.aspx?w=%GDWORD%&dict=esen |
Name it WordReference ES-EN or what you like.
Do the same for other languages, for example you can change the part:
In the URL to:
Where en stands for English, es for Spanish and fr for French. German is de, Italian is it, Portuguese is pt, etc. The order is important, for example enes means from English to Spanish.

GoldenDict Subject description: Hotkey, playing sound by flashplayer |
|
GoldenDict has a global hotkey to quickly look up words, similar to that of WordWeb in Windows. Select a word, press CTRL+C+C keys and GoldenDict will automatically display a dialog with the search results (based on the installed dictionary databases and the configured online dictionaries). You can change the key combination at Edit > Preferences (see screenshots). This hotkey works as long as you're running GoldenDict, but it doesn't work for certain programs such as ePDFview.
To play sounds of words in online dictionaries that rely on flashplayer and other plugins, you can activate that function in the Preferences as shown in the screenshot below.

Puppus Dogfellow's GoldenDict pet doesn't work in Precise Puppy - this pup was built with libraries older than required. However, it's OK for those who are running Quirky Tahr or a puppy with newer libraries.
Get more free offline dictionaries (databases in BGL format) from here:
http://www.babylon.com/free-dictionaries/
To add them:
- make a dictionary folder in a directory of your choice, for example /mnt/home/dict
- add that directory to the search paths as shown in the screenshot below, then exit GoldenDict
- copy one BGL file into the dictionary folder, then run GoldenDict and wait until the dictionary is indexed
- repeat previous step with another BGL file you'd like to add
Why not copy all and have them all indexed at once? Because at times it may fail to index properly, making for the dictionary program to refuse to run (iconv error). You may add them in pairs if you like, but it'd be better to add one at a time just to be on the safe side.
Make sure you have enough space in your save file. Even if the dictionary files are stored in the hard disk, they seem to be extracted in part into another location as well.

a misunderstanding. i thought you were posting in response to vicmz's post earlier the same day, saying this newest package works in precise despite his saying it wouldn't. i didn't realize you were referring to the older versions.
