Re: [ubuntu-in] Alternate Offline Dictionary
Hi - There is one other alternate dictionary called arthahttp://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Home . It is completely offline and based on Wordnet. If you have used Wordweb in Windows, you know Artha. For a list of features, see artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Features For installation - apt-get install artha -- Shyam 2010/4/18 K Ramnarayan ramnaraya...@gmail.com Hi Some time back i had posted on how to use the normal dictionary in offline mode (this is Dictionary 2.28.1) However there is another similar dictionary which seems, to me, to perform better (Xfce4 Dictionary 0.5.3) link http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-dict i think this will be available in some repos, because it came built into the ultimate edition 2.5 . The key diiferences that i can make out are a. Its easier to set up for offline (of course one needs to install all the offline dicts and the dict client and server - last two i think ) To set up , locally, go to preferences In the General - select Dictionary Server In Dictionary Server - type in 127.0.0.1 where the server is mentioned and finally in web service at the lower section there is a URL again type in 127.0.0.1. Ready to rock and roll B. the best and biggest difference is when one types a word to get the meaning it provides responses from all the available dictionarys , seems confusing but in the Gnome dict the meanings responses are provided from only the first dict and one must then navigate to each individual dict to get the appropriate response. hope its useful ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] Alternate Offline Dictionary
HI Shyam Sundar, I guessed correctly that you are the developer of Artha. First good show, irrespective of the minor bugs and missing features Artha is a good piece of work and greatly enhances productivity. It makes a lot of sense esp the misspelled words also being shown options - something that dict's don't do. Plus the various options - antonyms, similar words etc. ram On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 2:58 PM, Ramnarayan.K ramnaraya...@gmail.com wrote: Hi My replies below your mail On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 11:59 AM, C S Shyam Sundar csshyamsun...@gmail.com wrote: Ram - I'm still waiting for your answer on issues relating to artha ?

Re: [ubuntu-in] Alternate Offline Dictionary
Hi Ram - Im not the developer of Artha. My dear friend RM Sundaram, who is also in this mail trail is the actual developer. I'm just a wiki maintainer and tester of Artha.
