DDict - Desktop Proxy for Online Dictionaries

For a long time I was using a nice desktop interface of the dict.org service for KDE. But it was of no use when trying to come up with a translation from Polish. While there is a lot of good online dictionaries - none of them had an similar proxy for the linux desktop.
I have decided to take appropriate action - one night of hacking and I have developed DDict - Desktop Proxy for Online Dictionaries [http://sf.net/projects/ddict/]. This small tool written in Java/JDIC resides in System Tray allowing user quick access to a number of predefined (and easily extendable) list of online dictionaries.

Check out the ready to use packages at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157520 and screenshots at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=157520
