Cool. For some reason dict is still the easiest way to setup an open
source bilingual dictionary, my girlfriend used kdict a lot as she
studied for her German minor.

Basically you should import it into 'playground' on our SVN server and
develop it there. Once you think its ready to be put into extragear,
write some documentation for it and then move it into kdereview. Email
here and kde-core-devel for a 2 week review process before it gets
moved into extragear.
