EuroOffice Dictionary is a dictionary toolbar. This toolbar continuously displays translations for the word under the cursor in a text document and provides other useful features.

  • Look up a word in the dictionary by placing the cursor on that word in the document or type the word in the first dropdown box in the toolbar.
  • You can just read the translations or even replace the word with a translation with a single click!
  • When replacing a word, the cursor moves on to the next word, providing a way to quickly create a "raw" translation of a sentence.
  • EuroOffice Dictionary comes with dictionaries for English, German and French.
  • Adding new dictionaries or replacing the included dictionaries is easy! They are simple CSV files!
  • State-of-the-art stemming for Hungarian, and basic stemming for English.

The professional version of EuroOffice Dictionary will be available soon with a large number of professional quality dictionaries and extra features!

1.7 released

Versions 1.7 of both the professional and the free versions of EuroOffice Dictionary now work with custom OpenOffice.org builds from several Linux distributions, most prominently Ubuntu.

scrolling problems

This extension is really great. Very good idea. I tried some other dictionary files and they worked fine. But unfortunately I had to uninstall this extension. I noticed very annoying problem about scrolling as mentioned by another OOo forum user. Uninstalling this extension had solved the problem.

Re: scrolling problems

Dear lado,

Sorry about the scrolling problem. It was the result of exposing a bug in OpenOffice.org, but we have finally found a workaround for it. EuroOffice Dictionary 1.2 will not only be free of this bug, but will also look up words faster. (It is going to be released in a couple of days.)

We are also going to release the commercial version in a couple of days and beside this bugfix it will include several enhancements.

I am going to post about these releases here, but you can also keep an eye on our new web site.

Re: scrolling problems

The fixed version (1.2) is released! We hope you are still interested, and will find this tool better than before!

Now it works OK

Thanks a lot. I installed the new version and scrolling bug has gone.

Nifty tool, but not open source.

This is an excellent tool. It would be nice if it was released as open source, though.
