RDictCc is a simple translation tool written in Ruby that creates a local database out of the dictionary files from dict.cc.
Simply place the file rdictcc.rb
somewhere in your PATH
. Executing
rdictcc.rb --help
will show you all that's needed.
Usage: rdictcc.rb [database_import_options]
rdictcc.rb [misc_options]
rdictcc.rb [query_option] QUERY
rdictcc.rb
If no option nor QUERY is given, you'll enter rdictcc's interactive mode.
Database building options:
-i, --import DICTCC_FILE Import the dict file from dict.cc
Misc options:
-v, --version Show rdictcc.rb's version
-S, --size Show the number of entries in the databases
-d, --directory PATH Use PATH instead of ~/.rdictcc/
-h, --help Show this message
Format options:
-c, --compact Use compact output format
Query option:
-s, --simple Translate the word given as QUERY (default)
-r, --regexp Translate all words matching the regexp QUERY
-f, --fulltext Translate all sentences matching the regexp QUERY
To make use of the Emacs interface, add this to your ~/.emacs
.
