# dict.cc
A command line tool for accessing dict.cc written in Haskell.
## Usage
To look up German translations for an English word:
```bash
$ dict-cc dictionary
Englisch Deutsch
=========== ==========
ling. publ. dictionary Wörterbuch {n} [1324 ✓]
dictionary Lexikon {n} [70 ✓]
dictionary Diktionär {n} {m} [veraltet] [66 ✓]
```
To choose the source and destination languages:
```bash
$ dict-cc --from es --to de diccionario
Spanisch Deutsch
=========== ==========
ling. edit. diccionario {m} Wörterbuch {n} [119 ✓]
edu. loc. diccionario {m} de bolsillo Taschenwörterbuch {n}
```
To filter based on word type (e.g. noun or verb):
```bash
$ dict-cc --verb run
Englisch Deutsch
============ ===========
to run laufen [3148 ✓]
to run rennen [1494 ✓]
to run sth. [manage, lead] etw. leiten [1108 ✓]
# ...
$ dict-cc --noun run
Englisch Deutsch
============ ===========
run Lauf {m} [124 ✓]
run [sequence, cycle] Ablauf{m} [37 ✓]
cloth. run [in stockings, tights] Laufmasche{f} [25 ✓]
transp. travel run Fahrt{f} [23 ✓]
# ...
```
## Configuration
Adding a YAML file `.dict-cc` at [`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory_support) (typically ~/.config) allows
you to configure the default options for `--to`, `--from` and `--limit`.
For example to search by default for translations from Spanish to German, and limit to 10 results:
```yaml
defaults:
from: es
to: de
limit: 10
```
Now:
```bash
$ dict-cc diccionario
Spanisch Deutsch
========= ========
ling. edit. diccionario {m} 94 Wörterbuch {n}
```
