I could add a virtual dictionary of non-translating dictionaries that is not normally searched. Then you could search in, e.g., the "non-translating" database -- then you could depend on me to keep it up to date when I change the databases served. I'll explore this option this week or next and let you know. > I filed a Debian bug[1] to track this issue. If you reply-all to this > message, your response will be added to the bug log.
