sdcv is a simple, cross-platform, text-based utility for working with dictionaries in StarDict format.

mkdir /tmp/build-sdcv cd /tmp/build-sdcv cmake path/to/source/code/of/sdcv make

if you enable nls then you should also type

make lang

make install

you can use “DESTDIR” variable to change installation path

See sdcv man page for usage description.

To report bugs use https://github.com/Dushistov/sdcv/issues , if it is not possible you can report it via email to dushistov at mail dot ru. Be sure to include the word “sdcv” somewhere in the “Subject:” field.

Useful when you have multiple dictionaries

fzf --prompt="Dict: " \ --phony \ --bind "enter:reload(sdcv {q} -n --json | jq '.[].dict' -r)" \ --preview "sdcv {q} -en --use-dict={}" \ --preview-window=right:70%:wrap \ < <(echo)

This lines can be added to inputrc file (~/.inputrc, /etc/inputrc), to abort multiply usage with ESC:

$if sdcv "\e\e": "-1\n" $endif 

make package_source

cd po xgettext -k_ ../src/*.cpp -o new.pot msgmerge -U sdcv.pot new.pot rm new.pot for i in `ls *.po`; do msgmerge -U $i sdcv.pot; done
