Hi,

I would like to add slovak dictionary to Dictionary plasmoid so that I can
see the meaning of the English word in my native language. How can I do that?

There is dictionary window in the settings, but no +/- button to add/delete dictionary.
Any advice?

My guess would be it's not available yet. Probably because of Sonnet. But I agree it would be really useful, especialy if you could easily change between
dictionaries.
But I don't know where in development Sonnet is, I only know that it doesn't work for me correctly. That's why my English is full of mistakes now.
I'm using Konqueror as oppose to Firefox and Sonnet is just not kicking in I don't even have the English dictionary.

I guess the best thing is that us users should start porting dictionaries that we need to Sonnet; but that might be hard as I really don't even find a GUI or anything for it.

Sonnet is about check-spelling, I don't meant that, I wish to see the explanation
of the English word in my native language. There are some stardict [1] dictionaries around and available. I wish Dictionary Plasmoid can make some use of it. Anyway check-spelling is cool also :)

How it looks in trunk? Any move with this plasmoid?

Sorry about bringing up such an old topic, but is there any progress on the issue? Is it possible to make the dictionary plasmoid translate words?
