I took a look at the plugin and I agree with Paweł, relying on gnome-dictionary is not the best idea because a lot of people (including myself) have problems with it. I tried to set up up a local dictd server since the online one doesn't work but hadn't any luck so far. A dictionary.com plugin looks interesting and is definitely worth further investigation but relying on Internet access isn't always the best thing to do. Eventually we could use the dictd-dictionaries installed through the repositories directly but that would probably need a lot of work unless there is some easy to use python api available...
Oh, and I definitely want a simple translator as well :-)
