There is much room for improvement. :) Installation: 1. Unzip dictcc-dictionary-distrib.zip. You already did this. Hooray! 2. Download and install the OS X Developer Tools from Apple.com. You'll need to join the Apple Developer Connection to do this (there's a free membership). 3. Download dict.cc's database. You can find the database here, please read the licensing conditions carefully: http://www1.dict.cc/translation_file_request.php Choose version "DE -> EN (Elcombri / old format, cp1252)" and download it. Rename dict.cc's database files to "input.txt" and place it into the dictcc-dictionary-distrib directory. 4. Open a Terminal and "cd" to the dictcc-dictionary-distrib directory. 5. Launch the Makefile: user$ make 6. After some minutes the dictionary can be installed: user$ make install It will be placed into /Users/$username/Library/Dictionaries/ and fills about 300MB of disk space. 8. Start/restart Dictionary.App. Have fun! Lipflip
