It looks at least possible that stardict (http://stardict.sourceforge.net) will provide access to some translation dictionaries, something I've wanted for a while. there's a command-line version (sdcv-0.1.tar.bz2) which seems excitingly undocumented but seems at least worth trying to compile. I can't do this straight off (my ancient distribution causing problems) and before I try to install all the right antecedents I'd be interested to know if someone has tried it and found it useful. regards Peter _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
