On/Offline dictionary for Linux:GoldenDict

Even though there is a dictionary application for Linux, it only works online for default. It is possible to make it work offline with "dictd", but still its use is limited, as it can't show a pop-up window in other application.

I recommend GoldenDict. It works with many other dictionary formats. Moreover, it has a "snap windows function", which calls a pop-up windows with the definition. It can be used with many dictionary data files, and also with online dictionaries and wikipedia.
