Inbuilt Dictionary? #246

Closed Sparsa closed 5 years ago

Sparsa commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to get inbuilt dictionary, such that whenever we select a word it shows the meaning(like google-play books)

babluboy commented 5 years ago

@Sparsa Thanks for your interest in Bookworm. Did you mean a local offline dictionary ? The current one should work if you have internet connection. For an offline one, the script in the user's home directory needs to be modified as mentioned in #185 Does this help?

@Sparsa I forgot to mention that dict needs to be installed in the system for the offline dictionary to work. If you have got dict, then comment/un-comment the relevant lines as specified in #185
