Local dictionary server
```````````````````````
Instead of using remote dictionary servers like dict.org which
always need a network connection and then still might be slow,
you can also run your own dictionary server on your machine. This
way you always have fast access and you can install all the
dictionaries you need.
Most distributions provide a package called "dictd" which contains
the server. Additionally you should install some dictionaries you
need like WordNet, Jargon or some translation dictionaries. On
Debian and Ubuntu-like systems these packages are called "dict-wn"
(WordNet), dict-jargon, dict-de-en or similar. Basically it is enough
to install the "dictd" packages along with some dictionaries to get
a running local server. In the Xfce4-dict preferences dialog,
simply use "localhost" as the server name.
If you need more information about setting up a local dictionary server,
please see http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdenetwork/kdict/dictd-mini-howto.html.
