GoldenDict
GoldenDict is a feature-rich dictionary lookup program which
gives translations of words and phrases for different languages.
It supports multiple dictionaries' formats, perfect article
rendering
with the complete markup, illustrations and other content retained, and
allowing to type in words without any accents or correct
case.
The project aims to create a feature-rich dictionary search
program.

complete with all formatting, colors, images and links

- Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources
