[bgo#461021] Glossary support #80

Open mrkara opened 7 years ago

mrkara commented 7 years ago

I think is neccessary make a glossary support. A database with next fields (in xml):

Just a TreeView to manage the glossary database and with search support.

The Dictionaries pane is great :)

Is there a way (or will there be in the future) for users to add/import new dictionaries? If I have a dictionary in xml, will I be able to add it to the pane and use it?

Also, it would be useful to be able to look up a word straight from the string, via a shortcut (that is, we select the word in the string, then we press, say, Ctrl+L and the word is automatically copied into the "Search" field of the Dictionaries pane). Yes, I'm lazy :P

Supporting TBX (TermBase eXchange standard) would be a good idea too, don't you think? http://www.lisa.org/standards/tbx/

I am using the gnome dictionary. If the gnome dictionary has options to add new dictionary you are going to have it in gtranslator too. If this is not possible it shouldn't be difficult use another dictionary system, it is the great thing of the plugin engine.

This is possible but first we have to get a consense of the main shorcuts.

I can investigate about this. Could you file a bug for this? Explanning a bit what it is and if it is possible an example.

Thanks

I haven't been able to find a way of adding a dictionary (file) there, so it would be great if we could do it in gtranslator.

I was talking with enmanuel about this and here what he said:

nacho: it's not complicated - you need to implement a new GdictContext that parses the tbx dictionary format nacho: then write a GdictSource that allows the tbx transport > > > > > Supporting TBX (TermBase eXchange standard) would be a good idea too, don't you > > > think? http://www.lisa.org/standards/tbx/ > > > > > I can investigate about this. > > Could you file a bug for this?

It seems this is going to be implemented by gdict guys. An option import/export to tbx.

This is one of the targeted features for the redesign work in progress.
