  11. Re: Offline language tranlator and english dictionary?

    You could install the the dictc, dict and dict-freedict[language] packages, which serve very fine for me. I find them so good, that I often don't use the online dictionaries anymore, even where I...

    Did you try dict? It's in the repositories and accesible through the terminal. I didn't use it for French-English, but as a thesaurus and for other languages, and I like it!

    Is there specific reason why you need to edit it in LyX?
    You could just open the source file in gedit or another editor, and change that bit there. Or does LyX change it back then?
