Who can recommend me a german-english dictionary app that:

- works on #linux and/or #android
- is #floss
- doesn't need internet connection
- doesn't use electron
- has noun genders
- has verb conjugations
oh damn I'm following this one
The only thing coming to my mind rn is the marian/bergamont project, which is also used by firefox translate..
but it doesn't support conjugations afaik

thanks! I heard about that. Looks like a local, LLM translator. Cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm using a text file I get from dict.cc and then a shell function
voc ()
{
grep "$1" /home/docs/ref/englishgerman.txt
}
At least the german dictionary generally annotates genders. The verb forms are missing, though. But it works on the smallest (realistic) box and is as cross-platform as it gets.
prize to you for the hacker solution!

Dict.cc seems really cool, I wonder why I've only been using Leo until now
QuickDic for Android of course
not of course! Never heard of it...

Looks really promising, with conjugation and such.

Sadly, it seems to not parse the mediawiki syntax, so you get loads of `|` and `{` instead of nice boxes.

Thanks!
you're welcome. Living in a foreign country, I use this app all the time
Perhaps #AnkiDroid could be useful here? There are free sets of cards for an incredible amount of topics and languages. #Anki is about spaced repetition for learning stuff.
Hmm. I know Anki, and didn't think about using it for this. Do you happen to know if there is a particularly good set of cards?
Sorry, only now I realize that you are looking for a dictionary. So this is not about learning systematically, but to check/ look up words. Probably Anki is not the right tool, here.
I used Anki to refesh my English vocabulary. So I cannot recommend anything for German - but it would probably be worth checking out some of the shared sets.
yes! I should perhaps have mentioned in the original post, that Aard 2 is the closest thing I found for Android.

It does pretty much everything on the list except verb conjugations.
i know it's a bit offtopic, but i love koreader app for my rooted kobo e-reader https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Dictionary-support

and their dictionary support includes StarDict format, which is a bit old format, but there's plenty of dictionaries online if you dig deeper.. regarding the tooling to query/use it, i don't know much bc i use it always on the ebook reader.. but i think there's python libs and probably some more software like check out https://github.com/phongvcao/vim-stardict/blob/master/python/stardict.py
