StarDict is one of the best open source electronic dictionaries. It allows you not only to translate words, but also to voice them, as well as to use fuzzy queries and templates. Additional dictionaries can be added to the program (the number of which is already more than 100), thus expanding the possibilities of StarDict. The program supports full-text search of words in data and various operands in the search query.

In addition, there is a function to scan the highlighted word. If it is enabled, StarDict will automatically search your databases for words you have selected in other applications and will display the result in a small pop-up window. To manage the connected dictionaries, the program has a full-fledged built-in manager, where you can connect/disconnect dictionaries or set the order of request.

I really enjoyed using this tool in my various translation techniques! It was very easy to understand, and I like the function where you can highlight words to find the definition. I also like how you can add other dictionaries to the program.

I don't really understand how this product would be useful or what it is needed for. Are these dictionaries intended to be used to translate between different languages? Are these supposed to be used for coding? I'm not really sure. I don't know how this product would be useful to me.

Charlie

I truly appreciated involving this apparatus in my different interpretation methods! It was exceptionally straightforward, and I like the capacity where you can feature words to track down the definition. I additionally like how you can add different word references to the program
