DICT servers - freedict/fd-dictionaries GitHub Wiki

This is a page that attempts to list the currently working dictionary servers.

The most important dict server is dictd from the DICT Development Group, available almost locally, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict/

Others include:

  • GNU Dico – can load modules to support different formats
    • actively maintained, comes with a client and a front-end
    • provides libraries for multiple programming languages

Note that running a server is not exactly equal to making your dictionary database available to others on the Net. It is useful, however, to have a local server that you can use to verify if your dictionary works as it should.
