dict is a very powerful console dictionary for linux:
Installation:
Download libmaa from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict/files/libmaa/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Download dictd from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Create the configuration file:
either /etc/dict.conf or ~/.dictrc with:
# This file is used to specify the dict servers to talk to. See the
# CONFIGURATION section of dict(1) for the full syntax.
#
# A list of public dict servers is available at
# http://luetzschena-stahmeln.de/dictd/index.php
# but one of the following should work.
#
server dict.org
server dict.trit.org
server dict.die.net
---------------------
Some useful commands:
$ dict -D
List all available dictionaries in the servers listed in ~/.dictrc
$ dict -d deu-eng Haus
Searchs for Haus in the German-English dictionary
$ dict dict://dict.org/d house
Looks up a word using the server dict.org
