Hi and welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately, Lingoes doesn't run in Wine.

Try a native Linux alternative for Lingoes.

For example, StarDict is a Cross-Platform and international dictionary Software. It's in the repos, so you can install it via Synaptic or Add/Remove... .

but I fail to fix the audio problem in wine. And can not find a solution on google etc.

when I run winecfg, and point to audio tab. it stuck for several second then in the field I can not check or uncheck the driver(ALSA or OSS etc...). Test sound doesn't work(but without error!!popup window).

It's frustrated me for whole weekend. ...

dictionary.com is pretty good and google translate is extremely good- I have thrown semi technical english at it, translated to french and then back again and it still comes out very readable

It seems that it DOES run with wine, doing some stuff, see here (I haven't tested it myself so far, though):

I use text to speech software and translation software. There is one limitation that Wine has with these. The program has to be the active window in order to automatically read from the clipboard, otherwise it doesn't. This is why I began creating my own TTS software for Linux and so far, it's good and can even do better by reading from the selection buffer. That means, it doesn't even need the user to hit control c or right click copy, just highlight, but that's a user preference to which method to use.

What I'd like to know is how to get those .ld2 Lingoes dictionaries files to work in StarDict!
