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

You could try google translate https://github.com/atykhonov/google-translate.

Very good, this seems to be an alternative programmed purely Elisp!
I'm not sure if Google-Translate is already as good as dict.cc or
leo.org but I'll compare it and at least I could learn from your example
how to query an internet service with the means of Elisp.
Thanks a lot
Dieter

I use eedic and dict/dictd running on my own computer.
s-d looks up the word under the cursor and displays the result in a second window.
s-n finds any singleword anagrams of the word under the cursor.
s-w uses Wordplay by Evans Crisswell to list all words that can be
made from the letters in the current word as well as multiword
anagrams.
