there is very nice application for translation word on the fly: http://ktranslator.sourceforge.net/ KTranslator is a program to translate words from one language to another. KTranslator should support any language (I hope that) and come with a plugin system, to ease the addition of new dictionaries. The main idea behind KTranslator is to translate a word without disturb the application in use. So, when the user selects a word while pressing CTRL key, KTranslator will try to translate the word and show the result in a popup window. It behaves like Babylon for Windows. there is a ebuild (made by author?) http://ktranslator.sourceforge.net/ktranslator-0.4_rc2.ebuild it is worthy to add it into the portage, probably into app-dicts/ktranslator
(In reply to comment #0) I vote for adding this app to portage, too.
app-dicts/ktranslator-0.4 is now in the sunrise overlay. If a herd would like to maintain it, I can remove it from the overlay. http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/app-dicts/ktranslator/ Please add InOverlay keyword.
