====================
|

|

'sdtui' aims to provide an easy way of viewing translation as well as other
|
||||
kinds of dictionaries in your terminal, and is inspired by the dictionary
|
||||
component of PC Translator. I wasn't successful in finding any free software
|
||||
of this kind, GUI or not, and thus decided to write my own.

|

The project is covered by a permissive license, unlike vast majority of other
|
||||
similar projects, and can serve as a base for implementing other dictionary
|
||||
software. I wasn't able to reuse _anything_ for StarDict.

An approximate list of things that need to be resolved:
|
||||
|
||||
- the tab bar and the text input field don't handle overflows well
|
||||
- figure out a way to become capable of displaying most StarDict dictionaries
|
||||
- rewrite the frontend using a proper TUI framework
|
||||
- possibly make it work better with multiple dictionaries as now it's only

acceptable if you give them short names in the configuration so that they

all fit in the header
