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.

Dilo and the Services menu... - Imdat Solak

Normally it is enough to copy the application into the /Applications directory (or a subdirectory thereof) and logout and log in again.

If you copy the application into a different location, it *might* not work. But since the services feature is an OS X feature and since it's automatically managed by the system after an application (or services-tool) installation, it should work after a log-out and log-in. If it doesn't, you might consider contacting me directly via email giving me a little more detail on your system configuration.
