Vim-smartdict is wrapper around Smardict dictionary which allows you to use Smardict inside Vim. Smartdict is dictionary designed to improve you knowledge of foreign language. It can use different data sources (called drivers) like GoogleTranslate or LigvoYandex. To get more information about Smartdict please visit Smartdict home page
Quick config (translate from English to German with GoogleTranslate):
let g:SmartdictFromLang='en'
let g:SmartdictToLang='de'
let g:SmartdictDriver='google_translate'
Let's say you have the text:
Hel*lo world!
Press <Leader>T and you'll show the next output:
Hello - Hallo, Guten Tag, Servus
Command:
:SmardictTranslate love
Output:
love - lieben, lieb haben, gern haben, Liebe, Liebling, Schatz
The plugin requires a builtin ruby interpreter. It means that your Vim
should be compiled with --enable-rubyinterp option.
To find out does your Vim have builtin ruby interpreter you can do the next:
:echo has('ruby')
If output is 1 the ruby interpreter is builtin.
Then you need to install smartdict-core gem:
gem install smartdict-core
Also it's recommended to use ruby1.9.3, since 1.9.2 is buggy. Read how to build Vim againts Ruby1.9.3
To install the plugin just copy autoload, plugin, doc directories into your .vim directory.
