  Description     : MDic is a multilingual dictionary for GNU/Linux operating systems.

The following longer description is taken from MDic's Wikipedia page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDic). It should be noted that by default
no dictionaties are included.

-----
MDic is a multilingual free dictionary software developed for the Linux
operating system. It scans selected (or highlighted) text in any program
(a texteditor or in an address bar) and pops up to show the result
automatically or by pressing a modifier key (depending on settings).

MDic is able to pronounce the words by default if the ESpeak or KDE
text-to-speech tool is installed.

MDic uses SQLite databases and there is a converter tool (mdicconv)
which can convert Babylon(.bgl), Stardict (.ifo), Freedict(.tei) and
Sdictionary dictionaries (.dct).

The only pre-requirements to use MDic is the Qt4 library.

MDic can be used on any Desktop environment or window manager.
