✨ GOLDENDICT ✨

okay bestie, come sit with me because i need to tell you about goldendict and it's genuinely a big deal 💖 this page comes to you from the GOLDENDICT(1) manual, and it's giving "User Contributed Perl Documentation" energy, so let's go 🌸

🎀 NAME 🎀

goldendict — a dictionary lookup program that is, and i say this with my whole chest, feature-rich 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

goldendict

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, just vibes ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Goldendict is a cross-platform and international dictionary, and it's written in Qt. no cap. it goes everywhere you go and speaks every language you speak 🌈

🌟 Features 🌟

  • Use of WebKit for an accurate articles' representation — we're talking complete with all formatting, colors, images and links. it's giving magazine spread, not plain text 🙈
  • Support of multiple dictionary file formats, namely:
    • Babylon .BGL files — complete with images and resources 💖
    • StarDict .ifo/.dict/.idx/.syn dictionaries 🎀
    • Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files ⭐
    • ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations. The files can be optionally compressed with dictzip. Dictionary res-urces can be packed together into a .zip file. 🧚
    • ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed separately, and can be referred to from .dsl files. 🔥
  • 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. yes, ANY website. main character energy fr fr 🌐
  • Hunspell-based morphology system, used for word stemming and spelling suggestions 🫶
  • Ability to index arbitrary directories with audio files for pronunciation lookups. so you can literally hear it 👂✨
  • 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 'grüßen' in German dictionaries). not me typing sloppy and still getting the answer 😭💅
  • Scan popup functionality. A small window pops up with the translation of a word chosen from another application. it just APPEARS. iconically 🎀
  • Support for global hotkeys. You can spawn the program window at any point, or directly translate a word from the clipboard. keyboard shortcuts go brrr ⌨️🔥
  • Tabbed browsing in a modern Qt 5 interface 🌸
