NAME
kdict
- The KDE Dictionary Client
SYNOPSIS
kdict [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [word/phrase]
DESCRIPTION
KDict is a graphical client for the DICT Protocol. It enables you to search through dictionary databases for a word or phrase, then displays suitable definitions. KDict tries to ease basic as well as advanced queries. A separate list offers a convenient way to deal with the enormous number of matching words that a advanced query can return.
The remainder of KDict's user interface resembles a web browser. For instance, you can jump to the definition of a synonym by simply clicking on the highlighted word. The back/forward functionality is also implemented, enabling you to quickly go back to the result of previous queries.
KDict is able to process the content of the clipboard, so it's easy to combine KDict with your web browser or text editor.
If your machine is behind a firewall, has no permanent internet connection or the server of dict.org is too slow for you, you can set up your own local server, all you need is available at www.dict.org. The advantages of a local server are optimal performance and the ability to install additional databases of your choice.
