Some tips about dictionnary applications...

==Infos==
===Sources of dictionaries===
A good source of freeware Bilingual dictionaries based on French is [http://www.freelang.com/dictionnaire/index.html FreeLang]
 But they work only under Windows.
 Check e.g. on the French-English page, you'll find a link to a similar website based on English, same for Spanish.
*http://www.babylon.com/display.php?id=141&tree=5&level=2#1005
* http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/
* http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php
*apt-get install babytrans-dic-engtofre
====Others (to be checked)====
*http://www.liensutiles.org/dico.htm
*http://www.traductionexpress.com/dictionnaire_en_ligne.html

===Links for the relationship between languages and charsets===
*esperanto: http://www.forst.tu-muenchen.de/EXT/AIS/scio/iso8859.html
*http://webkor.com/multilingual_domains.htm

===Dictionaries programs under Linux===
====Dict & Freedict====
dict: /usr/share/dictd
*apt-cache search dict-freedict
To use dictd I had to hack a bit in /etc/init.d/dictd:
OPTIONS="--locale fr_FR"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -o -c dictd --exec $DAEMON -- $OPTIONS
Apparently dict & dictd don't support yet correctly UTF8
====Stardict====
[http://stardict.cosoft.org.cn/ Stardict] ([http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ mirror here]).
 Stardict is an offline dictionary program running under Gnome, a Windows port exists as well.
 Very good support of UTF-8, searches and on-the-fly scanning
*apt-get install stardict stardict-tools sdcv
Get some dicts at http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php and move them to /usr/share/stardict/dic (most are already packaged for Debian, check first!)
 For pronounciation database, you can take WyabdcRealPeopleTTS rpm on http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ and use alien.
 Stardict needs esd daemon to run to play sounds.
====Automatic American<>English<>Canadian "translators"====
*[http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ VarCon] VarCon (Variant Conversion Info) contains tables to convert between American, British (both "ise" and "ize" spellings), and Canadian spellings and vocabulary as well as well as a table listing the equivalent forms of other variants.
*[http://membled.com/work/apps/respell/ Respell] A tool to convert English text from one spelling system to another. At present, there are spelling files for american, british, and canadian spellings.
====Others====
I used wordtrans but now I'm using Stardict
* apt-get install wordtrans-qt
Try maybe also "serpento"?
==My own conversion scripts==
===dict(e.g. Freedict) to Stardict===
Utility to convert installed dict (e.g. freedict) packages into stardict versions:
#!/bin/bash

# Converts dictd files to stardict files
# Usage: ./dict2stardict.sh dict1_basename dict2_basename2 ...
# Example: ./dict2stardict.sh freedict-hun-eng freedict-eng-hun

# Copyright Philippe Teuwen <phil à teuwen.org>
# License: GPLv3 or later
# Version 0.92

# Should we install dict files?
# Values are: local/deb/none
# local: install files in /usr/local/share
# deb: create a Debian package (to be installed)
# none: leave files here
INSTALL_STARDICT_DEFAULT=deb
INSTALL_STARDICT=${INSTALL_STARDICT:-$INSTALL_STARDICT_DEFAULT}

Put the converted dicts in /usr/local/share/wordtrans
 For wordtrans: remove spaces in filenames!
 For converted dicts: " :: " is the separator & files are UTF-8
