Subject: Do you look-up online dictionaries within Emacs?
Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2014 20:15:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eguql4mr.fsf@vsl28t2g.ww011> (raw)

Hello,

I need often bilingual dictionaries like the excellent leo.org and
dict.cc; dict.el with the dict servers is not really an option.  At the
moment I'm using mostly my mobile phone as portable dictionary but I'd
rather want do this within Emacs.

There seem to be at least 3 solutions:

x-dict.el
http://www.xsteve.at/prg/python/

r-dict.el
https://github.com/tsdh/rdictcc

eww
but leo.org and dict.cc are barely readable in eww

What is working for you?

Thanks
       Dieter
