All I remember, that stardict was uhmm... old (there was word 'crap' originally). To be honest, I doesn't even using goldendict too often - translate.google.com (and thousands of desktop widgets/browser plugins for it) is enough to me in most times. Goldendict is good looking, more functional, and (most important) it's alive. Yes, goldendict is Qt-based, but it didn't bring and KDE components if I understand it right. As for stardict fork question.. You may just look at it old offpage here: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ There was some copyright issue and the project was closed. Then some people taked the sources and released their own stardict. I see there (http://www.stardict.org/) that they did just one minor release since 2007. And it still has that ugly UI. So, I believe it's more dead than alive. -- Regards, Ruslan Tinderboxing kills... the drives.
