Support .dict format

[tuhdo]

There are many free dictionaries with .dict format here: http://abloz.com/huzheng/stardict-dic/

It would be nice if we have support for it. To get the raw text dictionary:

• Install dictzip
• Run command: "dictunzip <dict.dz file>
• The database is .dict file.

It would indeed be useful to have access to these dictionaries. However, it's currently not a priority for me. Perhaps you can find a converter that translates dict to the format understood by helm-dictionary?

[tuhdo]

Well, those dictionaries have definitions with multiple lines, so I don't think it can be converted from .ding format to those and I also tried to search for one, but no luck.,

Hm, I see. Given how different the dict format is, it may be easier to write a new helm source for dict. I might give it a shot on a rainy weekend (there are many here in England) but I can't promise it.

Sure,

helm-dictionary is already very useful atm. Being able to access such a big collection of dictionaries make it even cooler.

Thanks. Glad to hear that you think it's useful.
