[ubuntu-in] Alternate Offline Dictionary

[C S Shyam Sundar]

Hi -

There is one other alternate dictionary called
artha<http://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Home>
.

It is completely offline and based on Wordnet. If you have used Wordweb in
Windows, you know Artha.

For a list of features, see artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Features

For installation - apt-get install artha

>
> To set up , locally, go to preferences
> In the General - select Dictionary Server
> In Dictionary Server - type in 127.0.0.1 where the server is mentioned
> and finally in web service at the lower section there is a URL again type
> in
> 127.0.0.1.
