That would be lemurae (bug #514273).

Most of these features are also present in stardict. And anyway, I can
see emerging a strong need for standardisation on dictionary formats;
even if it is not possible to have a single frontend, they should all be
able to use all the dictionaries we have in the archive.

I don’t think this can be done in Debian only, that’s why I’m suggesting
to make upstreams work together on a common format, so that it can be
eventually turned into e.g. a freedesktop standard.
