Thumbs up

I'm just wishing to know, in your opinion guys, what would be the best English-Spanish Dictionary to use under Linux.

I've been using the past months jDictionary, since is the one I discovered in "smart", but that dictionary really lacks of basic or even very simple words.

What else could you recommend me to use ?? :blink:

I found a program called StarDict that might help.

You can download it directly through SUSE (through YaST's repositories) as StarDict.

Once you have the program itself installed, you just have to download the dictionaries you want to use from the website.

This is one of the best lists I found so far...http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dict...reedict.de.php

Once you download the file, cd to the location and then do the following...

Code:
tar -xjvf filename.tar.bz2
...And then move the file so the program can use it by...

Code:
mv directoryname /usr/share/stardict/dic
Instructions: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php

Hope that helps!

Thank you for that great suggestion, I have been trying it, along the day and definitely that's a superior/better than jDictionary. I remembers me of another dictionary tool, I used to use on Windows, called Babylon, you surely know about what I'm talking about.

It's pretty handy this dictionary you have suggested me, and the coolest thing about it, is that it has lots of dictionaries that could be included in its searches.

Thanks a lot for your help Unseen Ghost
