A while ago I read the post of dwarf that he complained because they didn't help him and I don't know what else ... But he mentioned something that a computer scientist should not miss: English proficiency, You have to learn it yes or yes, there is no other and as he said elav is to make you want 🙂
So taking advice from a teacher years ago […] When you don't know a word in English, look it up in an English dictionary, not a translator […] I started looking for alternatives for the terminal and I found 2 very interesting ones.
sudo pacman -S wtf
WTF is an application that "translates" acronyms for us
sudo pacman -S sdcv
And the database
yaourt -S stardict-wordnet
StarDict is a dictionary for the terminal (it also has a graphical interface) with the dictionary wordnet.
There is a wonderful program called Artha, an English language thesaurus. It offers meanings, synonyms and much more, it hides in the system tray and can be called with a combination of keys.
My English is very poor and the truth ..., it only helps me to understand common people well and not technical language, and even worse if the guides are poorly explained ..., to explain you have to have a gift ...
Maybe one day I'll get into English, but I have more desire to learn German and Japanese XD
With wishing you will not learn. at least the application that is discussed here and that clearly the author undertook the task of searching is a valid attempt to know the language
It's just what I was looking for XD, and for those who are just starting out with English I recommend Duolingo is the best in my opinion
I also tried it on one occasion, although if you ask me I prefer a book
WTF ???
Word's Translation Format !! xD
Krunner does that by enabling → dictionary.
Here's my own Spanish / English dictionary. Shakespare.

shakespeare?
Very good, did not know the wordnet dictionary for stardict
Very good, but I think it's taking me more work to remember the 4 letters of the command than the words I'm learning hahaha
After a year of publishing this entry I can not say anything other than ... «excellent», especially for me because of my job I am always on the hunt for a good free dictionary. At least since I met Stardict I stopped thinking and installing Wine.
