Hia all,
I use "translate" a lot (Debian Sarge). Is there a way to use emacs as
a frontend for translate?

;;;; ding
(defvar dh-ding-file-name "/usr/share/trans/de-en"
"File name of the ding dictionary.")
(when (file-exists-p dh-ding-file-name)
(defun dh-ding (&optional query)
(interactive (list (read-string "Query: " (current-word))))
(let ((coding-system-for-read 'latin-1)
(coding-system-for-write 'latin-1))
(grep (concat "egrep -nHih " query " " dh-ding-file-name))))
(global-set-key "\C-cw" 'dh-ding))
AFAIK ding and translate are using the same dictionary.
