Looking for an english (and greek too if i find one) dictionary in text form to use in FreeBSD console.

[Someone]

I have downloaded some zim files from library.kiwix.org but setting up an html server for this sounds excessive.
I just need a small footprint command that uses a txt file for word meaning lookup.
So i need a txt file dictionary that can be used with commands like look etc.
Any ideas? Thanks.

What about textproc/dict (though you probably know of that one and I'm probably missing something)

(I think?) you saw my (other forum post) earlier? But here is a repost here just in case.

aspell(1) is REALLY generic spell checker that supports Greek and other languages. This software has been in common daily use for "decades" so I would follow them?

You may be able to use https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary to convert zim files.
I've never tried it.
You can also use textproc/sdcv if you convert it to stardict format.

Cant fint this package on my repo.

There's definitely a port for it. And a package. Do you have a custom repo? If you click the link in my earlier post, it takes you to freshports.org which shows the name of port and package.
