7SYNOPSIS
9 wordtrans [-v] [--help] [--dicts] [--desc] [-d alias] [+w] [-w]
11 [+c] [-c] [+i] [-i] [+g] [-g] [--info-server] [--info-dict]
12 [--html] [--html-base page] [--html-link-options options]
13 [--conf dir] [--show-charsets] [--charset codec] [--utf8]
14 [--debug] [-l w_lang1 w_lang2] word
15COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
18 -v Display the version number.
20 --help
23 Shows a helping message.
24 --debug
27 Shows debugging messages.
28 --dicts
31 Displays all available dictionaries. The info will be quite
32 similar to this:
33 Available dictionaries:
36 ALIAS w c i g FILE
37 d2e + - - - /usr/share/wordtrans/de-es.dict
38 de-en + + + - /usr/share/trans/de-en
39 i2e + - - - /usr/share/i2e/i2e.dict
40 babylon = = = = /usr/share/wordtrans/Engtospa.dic (babylon)
41 hebreo = = = = /mnt/usr/usr/share/wordtrans/Engtoheb.dic (babylon)
42 dict = = = = * (dict)
43 wordnet = = = = wn (dict)
44 The alias will be used to select a dictionary with option -d. File
48 shows the main dictionary. There are four columns showing the
49 default options, in other words, if below w is the + symbol this
50 means that option +w is the default option. If instead there were
51 a - then the default option would be -w. Idem with +c/-c, +i/-i and
52 +g/-g.
53 -d alias
56 Selects the dictionary to use. alias must be one of the shown
57 with option --dicts. It's very important that this option will
58 be the first, because when loading a dictionary its default
59 options will be loaded too. If this option is not used wordtrans
60 will automatically select the default dictionary (the one which
61 is in ~/.wordtrans/preferencias). If the default dictionary
62 couldn't be selected then the first dictionary found will be
63 used. If there's none, wordtrans will exit with an error
64 message.
65 +w Only full words will be searched. If you look for "casa" only
68 the terms which contain the full word casa will be shown but not
69 the ones which contain casarse or escasamente.
70 -w This is the opposite option of +w.
73 +c Case sensitive.
76 -c Not case sensitive.
79 +i Display second language first.
82 -i The opposite of previous option.
85 +g Ignore accented vowels.
88 -g Doesn't ignore accented vowels.
91 --charset codec
94 This specifies the charset that will be used for displaying the
95 messages. By default, it will use an appropriate charset for
96 your locale. You can see all avaiable charsets by using the
97 option --show-charsets.
98 --utf8
101 The same as --charset UTF-8.
102 --show-charsets
105 Shows all available charsets (which depends on the Qt version
106 you're using).
107 -l word_language1 word_language2
110 Append a new entry in the selected dictionary composed of the
111 words indicated and exits. If any word has blanks then the word
112 should be between quotation marks. You must introduce the word
113 in the proper order. If the dictionary is English-Spanish then
114 the first word should be the English one followed by the Spanish
115 one. The new translations will be saved in the personal
116 dictionary.
117 word
120 Word or regular expression to look for in the selected
121 dictionary. If the expression contains blanks then it should be
122 between quotation marks. A list will appear with the terms
123 found.
124 New options have been added to be used mainly by the web interface:
128 --desc
132 Shows the description of the selected dictionary (in html).
133 --info-server
136 Shows info of the dict server (only if the selected dictionary
137 is of this kind). Generally it will give you info of the
138 dictionaries available in that server.
139 --info-dict
142 Ask info to the dict server over the selected dictionary.
143 --html
146 Returns a text in HTML format instead of plain text.
147 --html-base page
151 Sets the base page of the web interface.
152 --html-link-options
155 Sets additional options for generated links.
156 --conf dir
159 Directory with the configuration files. This is used in the web
160 interface to read the configuration files from the directory
161 /etc/wordtrans, so wordtrans can be executed as the user nobody.

229 wordtrans --debug -d i2e -l fox zorro
