Naturally, I know about Stardict. Which has been discontinued, including 
many of the files/sites etc., in case you did not know.
If this is the "best" there is .. I am really sorry for my "trolling" .. 
but then I have to conclude: there IS no good dictionary for linux.
It is "made in China" -> which usually means "pirated".
They offer(ed) for example something called "Duden" (German stuff), 
which is a commercial product (I have it) for the world at large.
However, the CHINESE product is "free", ONLY for the linux people. This 
seems strange to me.
Not to mention: it omitts the most important information of the last 10 
years: the results induced by a "spelling reform" in Germany.
The commercial version naturally has this information stated very clearly.
And the search results usually looked like the one I take the liberty of 
copying below.
The first one is using GoldenDict + Babylon dictionary,
the other an English-German dictionary published by Duden.

Thank you for pointing that out.
Well, I wrote THIS too before: I am actually trying very hard for SEVEN 
YEARS already! and am not getting anywhere.
The time and effort I spent on my VERY LONG and arduous struggle with 
linux - just to set it up ...
amounts by now to at least 50 times I have spend over the last 25 years 
on all my computers and OSs put together.
And in the MS-DOS times I even had to edit the "config.sys" to make 
things work.
Nevertheless I have trouble with about everything in linux.
Through those seven years of struggle, practically NOTHING has been 
working "out of the box" or "easily".
If I am supposed to believe it .. somebody would actually have to SHOW me.
After all, I am the "doubting Thomas".

After all this (to my mind) desperate struggle to make things work, I am 
REGULARLY told, I am trolling or plainly stupid.
That must be it, I guess.
I am simply complaining for no reason at all and because I am too stupid.

And you really want to convince me, that this Babylon / Goldendict / 
Stardict ... is "good"???
Would YOU buy a printed dictionary that gives you this kind of information?

Sorry for my trolling.
Probably I should stop asking stupid questions that annoy the community.
