Being flexible and accept different types of dictionaries as technical dictionaries, encyclopedias as well as language dictionaries he shows an exceptional application for the study of various themes and specific. The StarDict has powerful features, such as "Search with masks," "Reading the selected word" and "Search diffuse." The application also has extra features such as pronunciation of words, full-text translation and dictionaries online.

StarDict already knew for some time, however I needed to write a technical report for a work of discipline "and Cibercultura Free Software" in my post-graduate in "Network Aministração Linux" from the Federal University of Lavras then chosen as the StarDict Application free. And for my surprise the work was published on the site of GINUX - Research Group on Free Software of the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA).

Hello friends:
I use the PC Babylon. But when I use it in the notebook was not permitted to use, (both in windows operating system) as the purchase of the license allows only be used in a device. Looking for a similar software found on this site about the startdisc. Please download, but I do not know how to set it up and making it work on windows operating system. I have searched sites in order to obtain this information without success. Can you give me would be a tutorial about it?
