Dict Description

A Firefox add-on that lets you easily look up for word definition The Dict project is a Mozilla extension that lets you easily look up the definition of words on a Web page using an online dictionary.Simply select a word, right-click, and you'll see a menu option to define the selected word. The Dict definitions will be displayed in a new window.The Dict project is an implementation of a DICT protocol client. The DICT protocol is defined in RFC 2229. By default, the Dict extension queries the DICT server on dict.org for definitions, but it can be configured to use any DICT server. Here are some key features of "Dict": · A "define selection" pop-up menu item that defines the selected word. · When no definitions are found, a page of nearest matches is returned. · When only one nearest match is found, its definition is returned. · Can be configured to use a user-selected server. Depending on the chosen server, the extension can be used to define words in other languages and/or translate words from one language to another. · Rudimentary support for the "dict" URI scheme. Requirements: · Firefox 1.0 to 3.5.* What's New in This Release: · Marked as compatible with Firefox 3.5.* · Fix a bug that prevented the dict:// protocol handler from working on Firefox 3.5.
