Description Djihed Afifi 2007-01-16 05:51:02 UTC 
Hello. I use the dict applet quite often, and find myself switching servers *very* to get definitions and translations for different languages. As far as I see the only way to switch dictionaries is to right click the applet, select the server, the close the applet, the enter the entry again.

Would it not be good to have a quick button for this, may be on the small translation window or middle click on the dict button to have a quick menu of dictionaries?

this is a dupe of both bug 471361 and bug 349547 - as soon as libgdict has a source chooser widget and we add a way to display the sidebar pages into the applet, then this will be added as well.

The applet doesn't exist anymore since GNOME 3.0.
