Dikt is a dictionary that implements the client side of Dict protocol. Dikt is a network application, it looks up words on dict servers. You don't need to install any dictionaries, you only need a connection to Internet. You can find information about Dict protocol at http://www.dict.org/
To look up a word, enter it into the query bar. By default Dikt searches dict.org dict server. You can add and edit hosts in Dikt settings and access them from the host menu. You can also switch to a different server by entering a URL in the form dict://host/word, where host is the dict server to connect to, and word is the word to look for.
A list of dict servers is available at http://luetzschena-stahmeln.de/dictd/
Dikt is very similar to web browsers, and it should be easy to use to anyone familiar with the Web and Internet. One option that needs some explanation is to yank selections. When it is set, Dikt will look up the text you select in your desktop applications.
