We have hosted the application goldendict in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about goldendict:

A feature-rich dictionary lookup program, supporting multiple dictionaries' formats, perfect article rendering with the complete markup, illustrations and other content retained, and allowing to type in words without any accents or correct case.

Features:

• Use of WebKit for an accurate articles' representation, complete with all formatting, colors, images and links.
• Support of multiple dictionary file formats: Babylon .BGL, StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn, dictd .index/.dict(.dz), ABBYY Lingvo .dsl
• 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 'gr��en' in German dictionaries).
