A multi-platform dictionary and offline Wikipedia reader Aard Dictionary is a free and open source Python based multi-platform dictionary and offline Wikipedia reader. Aard Dictionary was originally designed for Nokia Internet Tablet devices (N800/N810), but it also runs on any platform where Python, PyGTK and ICU are available.Aard Dictionary is under active development and is not a stable software. However it is already very usable. Here are some key features of "Aard Dictionary": · Fast word lookups even with huge dictionaries like English Wikipedia · Efficient, highly compressed dictionary data storage format · Lenient word searching (case insensitive, ignores accents) · Language specific word list sorting · Unicode everywhere · Look up words in multiple dictionaries in multiple languages without switching · Rich article formatting · Internal and external references, footnotes · Quickly navigate to online version of Wikipedia articles Requirements: · Python · PyGTK · PyICU Limitations: · No support for images. This also means mathematical formulas in Wikipedia articles are missing. · Table support is limited. Complex tables may miss some data and/or have incorrect structure. Also there is no text wrapping inside table cells, which produces very long horizontal scrollbars in some articles. · Internal references to a specific location inside an article do not work. · Many XDXF dictionaries have only basic or no markup in articles. Accordingly, aard dictionaries converted from such XDXF also have just plain text articles. Some dictionaries have simple plain text markup or formatting conventions that can be converted to proper XDXF and aard markup, but this requires a custom conversion tool which hasn't been written yet. What's New in This Release: · Include license, documentation, icons and desktop files in source distribution generated by setup.py. · Added ability to open online Wikipedia article in a browser (Navigate ? Online Article) and to copy article URL (Dictionary ? Copy ? Article URL). · Open all volumes of the same dictionary when one volume is open if other volumes are in the same directory. · Fixed auto selecting article from most recently used dictionary (this didn’t always work with multi volume dictionaries since volume id was used instead of dictionary id). · Remove Control-f key binding for history forward and Control-b for history back in Hildon UI, use Shift-Back and Back instead. · Windows version now uses Python 2.6. · Windows installer updated: by default Aard Dictionary now goes into Aard Dictionary group, shortcuts to web site, forum, and uninstaller are created.
