7. How to use Babylon Translator's dictionaries

As of version 0.6.4 wordtrans supports dictionaries from Babylon Translator. This support has been achieved using some code from BabyTrans by Frederic Jolliton <fjolliton@free.fr>.

To use a Babylon Translator's dictionary obviously you have to have installed Babylon Translator in windows. You can download it from http://www.babylon.com.

You have to locate the following files:

Now you have to copy these files to a directory in your linux partition, or, set up wordtrans to use directly those files in the windows partition.

7.1 Setting up through the GUI

The graphic interfaces qwordtrans and kwordtrans let you add a Babylon Translator's dictionary easily.

7.2 Setting up by hand

Create in your ~/.wordtrans/ a file named for example babylon.bconf. The name can be everything you want, but the extension has to be bconf.

The contents of this file should be more or less this way:

[General]
alias = babylon
idioma1 = English
idioma2 = Spanish
[Diccionarios]
general = /usr/share/babytrans/Engtospa.dic
[Iconos]
idioma1 = /usr/share/wordtrans/i2e.xpm
idioma2 = /usr/share/wordtrans/e2i.xpm

In this example I supposed that the two files mentioned above have been copied to /usr/share/babytrans/.
