By renaming the ebuild, you have loads of different ebuilds. For example eng- swe is a swedish - english dictionary. All the combinations can be found on this page: http://www.freedict.de/Download.shtml, note that the table on that page is duplicated so only use the first half (down to the second header). They are 50 in total but two have zero size: http://freedict.sourceforge.net/download/linux/eng-cze.tar.gz http://freedict.sourceforge.net/download/linux/gre-deu.tar.gz -J # Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: $ DESCRIPTION="dict-freedict for language translation" HOMEPAGE="http://www.freedict.de" MY_P=$(echo $P|sed -e s/-1.0//g -e s/dict-freedict-//g) SRC_URI="http://freedict.sourceforge.net/download/linux/${MY_P}.tar.gz" LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" IUSE="x86 sparc sparc64" DEPEND="dictd" #RDEPEND="" S=${WORKDIR} src_install() { dodir /usr/lib/dict insinto /usr/lib/dict doins ${MY_P}.dict.dz doins ${MY_P}.index }

ok, as you can see from a recent emerge sync, I have moved all the existing dictionaries into a new category called "app-dicts" I reasoned that adding these 48 translation dictionaries would increase app-i18n to over 200 packages. So, I will start to systematically add the dictionaries into portage, then close this bug report..
I see that you also have moved aspell-* and ispell-*. They are not quite dicts (as in the program dictd) but rather spell-files. So I'd suggest that they stay in app-i18n OR get moved to something like app-spell.
added to portage. I'll make an eclass at some point and add the other ones as well.
