BTW there seems to be something wrong with German-English freedict. It 
cannot find such easy words like Hund (dog), Katze (cat), Haus (house), 
Mann (man).

Other virtual dictionaries would also be useful. E.g. for translating 
DE-EN somebody wants to search in DE-EN-trans, EN-DE-trans, and in the 
EN-only, DE-only. That would cover what I do during translation from DE 
to EN: search the translation in dict.leo.org, dict.cc, read the English 
definition in dict.org, and google as a last resort.
