Goldendict Linux REPACK Download
Kip Veilleux
New release. See changelog for details.
- 32-bit Windows installer, 16MB - just run it to install the program. It doesn't include any local dictionaries, which are to be downloaded elsewhere. Wikipedia and websites would still work, though.
- 32-bit Windows En-Ru-En installer, 78MB - this one in addition to the program itself has two dictionaries (Apresyan En-Ru and Smirnitskiy Ru-En) and English word pronunciations. It allows trying out the program instantly without searching for any dictionary content. If you are upgrading from the previous version, do a complete uninstall first, otherwise the program won't automatically use the content.
- 32-bit Windows portable version, 20MB - just unzip it anywhere you want (e.g. pen drive) and put your dictionaries to the content/ directory.
- Source code, 2.7MB - for Linux users and those who want to build the program themselves. Consult Building latest version from source
instructions for building hints. Linux users should better just use the means of their distribution to install the program. - En-Ru-En content, 62MB - En-Ru-En content for Linux people, see description above. Untar it to /usr/local/share/apps/goldendict. Remove any previous program configuration if you want the content to be hooked up automatically: do rm -rf /.goldendict.
- Linux users: Linux versions usually come without morphology files. You can use system myspell/hunspell files, but there are better versions with more stems available specially for GoldenDict. Download them here. Unzip them to a separate directory and change morphology path in the program to point to it. Do not replace your system myspell dictionaries with those files - they don't add any new words, just more stems.
- If you need a good English dictionary with a clear and free license, get this one, a full version of WordNet 3.0 specially formatted for GoldenDict.
and I open it again, it somehow knows what my dictionaries are. It broke today and I must reset it completely, so I must delete the configuration files it uses, but I don't know where they are. Anyone knows the location of configuration files of goldendict?
UPDATE: I guess I should say what was broken. There was a memory leak after I switched to i3wm and back to Cinnamon. After finding some word, memory usage was slowly increasing and after a couple of minutes I had to force quit goldendict (it was unusable).
Hello, i've got this very weird bug i have not been able to debug successfully myself.
Basically, after recent system update (including libnsl, which got a major release w/ a sobump) my fairly fresh build of goldendict-git stopped launching and gave an error:
when launched from terminal emulator. Grepping journalctl logs for "goldendict" or "libnsl" gave absolutely nothing new or useful, simply rebuilding the package does not seem to produce correctly linked/launching binaries either.
My system and mirror of choice are fully up to date (i checked and even waited a day for any updated packages which could possibly fix this), so it's unlikely to be FS#72090 / FS#72069 or this - in theory a rebuild or an update of (rebuilt) major deps should've fixed this.
But all pure python apps work (python shell is working/loading without problems too), reinstalling all aforementioned packages to rule out fs corruption did not help either. I tried rebuilding and installing qt5-webkit & qt5-multimedia locally out of pure desperation, still no dice (i rebooted and rebuilt goldendict-git after that).
The article text you see is actually an HTML page. It has its own CSS style which can be arbitrarily altered. To do so, you need to create a special text file article-style.css, located in Linux in /.goldendict, and in Windows in %APPDATA%\GoldenDict. You can put arbitrary CSS code there.

Getting GoldenDict up and running on Linux is not particularly difficult. Download the latest tar.bz2 archive, unpack it, and run the goldendict-bin executable (or use the goldendic.sh script). The project's Web site also provides an excellent English-Russian dictionary, so if you are learning Russian or just need a good Russian dictionary, you might want to grab it as well. To install the dictionary (or any dictionary in one of the supported formats for that matter), choose Edit -> Dictionaries, switch to the Files section, and add the path to the directory containing dictionary files. Press OK, and GoldenDict processes and adds the dictionary. Besides the described feature set, GoldenDict sports two other rather nice touches. The main interface supports tabs, so you have several articles opened at the same time. And the Save article command lets you save the currently viewed article as an HTML file.
