Thanks for your fast and comprehensive answer, Aroman. I understand the quality concerns, but I strongly agree with Christian here. I tested lingo now for only a couple of weeks, but am about to install another dictionary just because I have to use it offline sometimes.
A dictionary's purpose is to deliver you a definition of a word. Of what use is it if it can't fulfill this purpose under some, common, circumstances? All the nice, quality results it gets are worth nothing if you happen to be unable to connect to the internet.
I know the elementary philosophy is not to try to make it right for everyone, but I don't think that this should include the offline use of the operating system, should it?
