insert translation

insert translation

[Sven Utcke]

Hi,

I would like to write a function that finds translations for the word
under the cursor and then replaces the word under the cursor by one of
the translations.  I have no problem getting a buffer containing all
translations, but don't know how to proceed from there.  I would like
to either click on one of the translations, or move the cursor to one
and press enter.  What is the easiest way to do this, where a
translation matches (roughly) the middle part of

|\([^ |][^|]*[^ |]\) *|

TIA

Sven

May I advertise my simple translation utility rdictcc [1] here?  It has
an emacs interface that does exactly what you want, so either use it
directly or borrow some code from it.

Bye,
