Product Description:

Dilo looks up words at http://dict.leo.org and shows the english or german translation of that word. It is kind of comparable to "Babylon" for Windows but uses a public web-dictionary instead of having a local one. if you want to see how LEO works, please go to http://dict.leo.org and try it out yourself. You can start up Dilo directly and enter something into the search field to search for or you can call it through the services menu Define in Dilo. It doesn't matter whether you are searching for an english description of a german word or vice versa (and french/german, spanish/german respectively). Just select the word in the editor you are using, choose "Services->Define in Dilo" (or "Services->Define French in Dolo") and that's it.

What's new in this version:

Dilo now remembers the state of language-popup setting between sessions and added French translation (thanks to Ange).

Dilo ReviewLove it ! - Version: 1.1, 12/31/2006 05:38AM PST

peewee
Well done. Congrats. Works well with Services here. I like the feature even more that it grabs a word or phrase from the pasteboard.

Translation results are sufficient most of the time. However sometimes i switch to Leo to have further information. Here a link from Dilo straight to Leo with the corresponding word embedded would be really cool.

Dilo CommentaryDilo and the Services menu... - Version: 1.0rc1, 5/14/2006 07:14AM PST

TML
I've read the VT introductory text on Dilo carefully several times, launched the program, adjusted its prefs back and forth, and I just can't seem to find out how to implement the Services call to Dilo. On my system (10.4.3) there doesn't seem to be any such thing as 'Define in Dilo...' showing up in either the Finder services menu, any other app's services menu, or even Dilo's services menu(!) - even after several non-related reboots of the system. I was hoping to be able to either control-click on any highlighted text, or use the services menu to 'launch and translate'. Otherwise it seems a decent enough tool. I just wish I could find out how to actually add it to the services menu along with the myriad other items I have there. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
