Hm. I do have an older Mac OS X-box here... *adds to TODO*

You can use any other dict-client where you can add a server of
course, the command-line client (my favorite) should work there
also.

It is so far one way only... Taruven -> English. The reverse
list isn't very good and I prioritize making better definitions
higher than making a reverse list. In fact, all this have very
much inspired me to improve the definitions as it becomes very
clear that they suck :)

*checks* works in the Wii browser also... *checks DS*
definitions might be too wide, I'll look into a
cellphone-stylesheet... did I mention that you can get
dict-clients for cellphones?
