Dear all,
           I am using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 in Debian squeeze.If I have to get
           the online dictionary(http://olam.in) in emacs,by executing an
M-x command or
           with the help of a function key(like F6) or when combination of
           keys are used. Is it possible to get the service without using a
browser?
           Please bear in mind that I'm a beginner, So please be mild in
your words when
           you extend your support

Are you trying to use a malayalam dictionary for spell checking? If so
you can install aspell and aspell-ml to get a malayalam dictionary.
Then you can use ispell to spell check within emacs. You can also use
flyspell if you prefer on-the-fly spell check.

On the other hand if you are using the above service to look up word
definitions then you would need to install w3m, w3m-el and w3m-img
(optional package for image support). Then you can do `M-x
w3m-browse-url' to go to that url.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Look at my emacs module for text translation, it uses google api (json).

I tried M-x dictionary-select-dictionary and looked for eng-mal dictionary
(English-Malayalam), but I couldn't. Is it possible to include the
English-Malayalam or Malayalam-Malayalam dictionaries there? Expecting
support, THANKS in advance.....sanal

Since Malayalam is not one of the languages offered by Google
Translate, then no, it is not possible.  Similarly for babel.el,
neither yahoo nor freetranslation.com offer Malayalam, but since
babel.el already supports three sources for translation, it is
probably a better starting point for adding support for olam.in
