For me a very useful little tool

DING --> Dictionary Lookup de-en

simple, fast, bulky database --> recommended :D

To install it, wish from tcl must be installed first.

Google/Babelfish/Altavista/Abacho ... each has its own translator online.

Why another dictionary? Only DE/EN available?

Because I wanna it offline also, it's much faster than any online-dict and I just need only de-en.

I got a PM with a question about how to install ding and wish, so I'll answer here, too:
wish is part of the tk package so install tcl and tk: slapt-get -i tcl tk

I still use and love Steak used from a terminal, eng>de, de>eng. Unfortunately, it seems it is not maintained any longer.

Old site:

http://www.tm.informatik.uni-frankfurt. ... steak.html

May be someone can find a new version?
