My vocabulary list with definitions Bash script using Stardict's "sdcv"

Note: I often have links set to open in a new tab & try to indicate that using the mouse hover popup.

Note: I have an updated version of this script on github that uses wkhtmltopdf to produce a .pdf of the vocabulary words with definitions.

This script takes a list of words (single column in plain text format) and produces a formatted text file with words and their definitions.

Depends: Stardict's "sdcv" with the WordNet dictionary in Stardict's directory /usr/share/stardict/dic
(dictionary package also available here: stardict_wordnet.tar.bz2)

Script available here. Put it in your Home's bin directory and ensure that it's set to be executable. (Ubuntu has the path for $HOME/.local/bin preset in its ~/.profile)

Run it in a terminal window and it will create its vocablist and log the words not found.


This example output is a text file in a frame so may not display in mobile device web browsers:
