A client program to query different dictionaries.
This program allows you to search different kinds of dictionary services for words or phrases and shows you the result. Currently you can query a "Dict" server(RFC 2229), any online dictionary service by opening a web browser or search for words using a spell check program like aspell, ispell or enchant. It's also possible to query Large Language Models running via Ollama.
xfce4-dict contains a stand-alone application called "xfce4-dict" and a panel plugin for the Xfce panel.
