## Configuration

### Offline Dictionary Lookup with dictd

Once the dictionaries have been installed, and `dictd` has been configured, `goldendict` can be configured to access the `dictd` dictionary databases by following these steps:

- Press F3 to bring up the "Dictionaries" window.
- Click on the "DICT servers" tab
- Click "Add..."
- Click to put a checkmark under "Enabled"
- Double click under "Address" and type: `dict://localhost`. Make sure to change `localhost` if `dictd` is running on another server.
- And finally click "OK".
