For German users and English-speaking users with German-language needs, Philipp Brauner has made available the dict.cc Dictionary Plugin for Leopard, which adds the dict.cc vocabulary compilation to the OS X Dictionary. dict.cc is a community generated and verified English-German dictionary. The large download size (125M) speaks to the expansiveness of this compendium.

The plugin not only enhances Dictionary.app, but other services that tie into the OS X Dictionary, including Spotlight and the Dictionary widget. It comes with a handy installer which makes the plugin easy to install for all users.

The plugin borrows from a previous project by Wolfgang Reszel which integrated the BeoLingus vocabulary in the same manner. The dict.cc plugin is open source and the dictionary data is licensed separately, but available for use. Whether you're an English speaker with a desire to dabble in Deutsch or German is your native tongue, it's worth the sizable download.

I really hope Apple (or someone else) makes Dictionary.app for the iPod Touch â€” that's probably about when I'll get one. I haven't tried the third-party dictionaries yet, but the built-in Japanese ones kick butt.

Please help me since I don't get the point.

What's the difference between dict.cc-plugin and BeoLingus.
Seems like they do the same thing - but dict.cc-plugin is based on BeoLingus.. so what?

Do they only have different word-sources? Wich one is better?

This Info should be in the article.

Many thanks in advance!

Wow, that's super. Thanks for the link.
A great resource for non-Leopard people is this website:
http://dict.leo.org/
-- Just in case someone who needs it still doesn't know about this fabulous resource

They also have some other good stuff such as:
http://bar.leo.org/index_de.html
-- A drink mixer, in German
