How to install dictionaries for GoldenDict?

  • 772

After installing Ubuntu 13.04 the possibility to install dictionaries to GoldenDict is lost.

I downloaded a big collection for StarDict and usually copied it to the folder: /usr/share/stardict/dic/. Next time after running GoldenDict it included these dictionaries automatically.

After installing 13.04 it doesn't work. I pressed F3, added this folder, selected "Recursive", pressed "Update" (maybe not precise translation from Ukrainian) - and nothing happened.

I tried to copy dictionaries to Home folder and added it - nothing happen.

What's wrong?

  1. The following command

    sudo apt-get install goldendict
sudo apt-get install goldendict-wordnet

    will do.

    goldendict: dictionary lookup program.

    WordNet is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs that are linked together by their semantic relationships

  2. Hope it will help you.....

    sudo apt-get install goldendict

    Now to use the copyright free ‘GNU powered’ English dictionary (about 13MB of size … so it contains a lot) called “GCIDE” then use the below procedure to install it.

    sudo apt-get install dict-gcide

    Now launch goldendict.

    Thats it.
