<br>What is expected from a Dictionary service?<br>Would it be a background thread? A library?<br>Would it include a thesaurus? <br><br>It is interesting to see what can Kdict do as for KDE 3.5.x:<br><a href="http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdenetwork/kdict/index.html">
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdenetwork/kdict/index.html</a><br><br>What else we need?<br>As for me, I would like something like language dependent search-plugins. A couple of examples:<br>I would like to search a japanese letter by its strokes count, something very Japanese/Chinese specific.
<br>Other languages may let do guessed search ( guess what verb you are looking for if you didn't search for the infinitive)<br><br>I haven't taken a look to ktranslator, what are its extended functionalities (when compared with kdict)?
