o ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations.
The files can be optionally compressed with dictzip. Dictionary
res-urces can be packed together into a .zip file.
o ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed
separately, -r be referred to from .dsl files.
o Support for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other MediaWiki-based
sites to perform lookups in.
o Ability to use arbitrary websites as dictionaries via templated Url
patterns.
o Hunspell-based morphology system, used for word stemming and
spelling suggestions.
o Ability to index arbitrary directories with audio files for
pronunciation lookups.
o Full Unicode case, diacritics, punctuation and whitespace folding.
This means the ability to type in words without any accents,
correct case, punctuation or spaces (e.g. typing 'Grussen' would
yield 'gruessen' in German dictionaries).

translation of a word chosen from another application.
o Support for global hotkeys. You can spawn the program window at any
point, or directly translate a word from the clipboard.
