A separate list +offers a convenient way to deal with the enormous number of matching +words that a advanced query can return. + +The remainder of Kdict's user interface resembles a web browser: +For instance, you can jump to the definition of a synonym by +simply clicking on the highlighted word. The back/forward functionality +is also implemented, enabling you to quickly go back to the result of +previous queries. + +Kdict is able to process the content of the X clipboard, so it's easy +to combine Kdict with your web browser or text editor. + +Kdict is now a real client, no additional software is needed. + +If your machine is behind a firewall, has no permanent internet +connection or the server of dict.org is too slow for you, you can +set up your own local server, all you need is available at +http://www.dict.org. +The advantages of a local server are optimal performance and +the ability to install additional databases of your choice. +The handbook contains a small tutorial for installation +and links to databases. + +************************************************************************** + +For installing Kdict you need: + +- KDE 3.x +- POSIX Threads + |
