Native as far as OS is concerned. In this context, I am not using the linguistic semantics of the word, which usually refers to people.

In Linux, you have three options: Try to install and run a dictionary for Windows using Wine. This might not be easy, and there's probably no support online. Find a dictionary that runs on Linux: the only one I know supports Linux (or at least so they say) is Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. All the others only run on Windows, as far as I know. What a pity. You can use Stardict. With Stardict, you can use several dictionary at the same time, and get any definition you might want with a double click. Problems: you will have to add the dictionaries, and the best ones are copyrighted, so downloading and using them might be illegal in your country. Also, many won't work well or won't work at all,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/DictionaryRunningLinuxPronunciation/zzjgd/post.htm#654489Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:00:44 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:654489Anonymous3http://www.englishforums.com/English/DictionaryRunningLinuxPronunciation/zzjgd/post.htm#654489http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments25-654489.xmlLatest versions of wine are enough powerful to run Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary without any problem. I have tried in Fedora 10, it works fine. Just install dictionary using its setup through wine.

Anyway, I'm not sure how they would work... try searching the net for someone who succeeded. You could get the major dictionaries as files for Stardict, for example but... when I tried it, I couldn't find the pronunciations in them, not even phonetic transcriptions... just the contents. So it seems to me there are no good dictionaries for the penguin... and so what do I do? I use online dictionaries. All the best ones are available online and for free. Lemme know...http://www.englishforums.com/English/DictionaryRunningLinuxPronunciation/zzjgd/post.htmSat, 24 Jan 2009 18:47:40 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:444876Myle5http://www.englishforums.com/English/DictionaryRunningLinuxPronunciation/zzjgd/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments25-444876.xmlI would like a program, like Cambridge Advanced Learners' Dictionary that runs in Linux and has features like pronounciation, grammar, common mistakes etc. If you can't think of one, does anyone knows if Cambridge Advanced Learners' Dictionary runs with wine?
