[ubuntu-in] offline dictionary and thesaurus (artha)

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

some days back i had posted about how to set up an offline dictionary and
thesaurus.

There is another option, this one is better in some ways because is shows
options for misplet words. and also can be accessed by hot keys.

check out
Artha:About - Artha<http://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Artha:About>

http://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Artha:About

Download the latest deb file - and read the instructions on how to install

and then get working.

I think in conjunction with the dictionary app this is a really good piece
of productivity software.

However if there is some kind developer soul it would be good if this artha
could have more options to add other off line dictionaries , specially in
multiple languages. (liek the dictionary app)

The developer is indian (or of indian origin) which i think shows that
indians are also now contributing back

There are some problems with the hot key combination, and it does not work
(as mentioned in the wiki) as planned. I guess over time these issues will
hopefully get resolved

enjoy
ram
