# d
d is a wrapper around dictd and gtranslate for lightning fast dictionary querying from the terminal
### Usage
Dependencies: ruby3, [translate-shell](https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell), dict
You can install dict from most package managers, e.g. `brew install dict`. Both `gtranslate` and `dict` must be in your $PATH, otherwise set `D_GTRANSLATE_BIN_PATH` and `D_DICT_BIN_PATH` environment variables.
```bash
chmod +x ./d
d eng tur love
d thesaurus contextual
```
#### Basic english only usage:
```
d define glee club
d thesaurus medium
d acronym LISA
```
See the `dictd_mode_command` function below for the supported
modes; it's easy to add any that dictd supports.
You can quickly translate arbitrary language to language pairs as well:
```
d eng hun to preen
d eng tur beautiful
d eng spa seaside
```
Run `dictd -D` for a list of available language pairs.
