Re: Is there an offline Ar/En dictionary for Linux

["M. Yaser Houri" <myhouri at gmx dot de>]

As'salam alikom Mohammad,
There is an offline EN/AR dictionary for linux.
You've to install dict-freedict-eng-ara using apt-get: (You have to be 
as root to run the following command)

apt-get install dict-freedict-eng-ara

Then Download and install Ktranslator for the following link:
http://ktranslator.sourceforge.net/

Ktranslator is like bablyon translator for windows.

run ktranslator and choose the english/arabic dict-file dictionary from 
/usr/share/dictd/

After that, you can just hold Cotrol key (ctrl (in german is strg) ) and 
double click on the word that you want to be translated.
Then, the ktranslator will pop up the translation, if it exists.

Surely, you can install more than the english/arabic dictionary. There 
are german/english, english/german, french/english and many more.
You can just install them and add them to ktranslator.

Have fun
Yaser...
