NAME

   goldendict - a feature-rich dictionary lookup program

SYNOPSIS

    goldendict

DESCRIPTION

   Goldendict is a cross-platform and international dictionary written in
   QT.

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
           res-urces can be packed together into a .zip file.

       *   ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed
           separately, -r 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.

   *   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 'gruessen' 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.
