sdcv

sdcv is a simple, cross-platform, text-based utility for working with dictionaries in StarDict format.

StarDict dictionaries can be downloaded from https://stardict.nchrs.xyz/ or https://kdr2.com/resource/stardict.html.

The quick-sdcv package serves as a lightweight Emacs interface for the sdcv command-line interface, which is the console version of the StarDict dictionary application.
