Files</A></H2> <P>Before going on I have to say something about the files wordtrans uses. <P>The first time one of the front-ends is run, the hidden directory <CODE>~/.wordtrans/</CODE> will be created and the files in <CODE>/etc/wordtrans/</CODE> will be copied to it. <P>These files have the information for every dictionary that wordtrans can manage, and can be edited or created new ones with the front-ends qwordtrans and kwordtrans. If you use the console version you may edit them by hand because they are just text files. <P>I have to emphasise that the front-ends only work with the files in <CODE>~/.wordtrans/</CODE> and NOT with files in <CODE>/etc/wordtrans/</CODE>, although since version 0.8.2 you can use the option <B>--conf</B> to specify the directory where the configuration files would be looked for. <P>Both qwordtrans and kwordtrans will save its preferences in <CODE>~/.wordtrans/preferencias</CODE> . <P>The console version reads from <CODE>~/.wordtrans/preferencias</CODE> the default dictionary. <P> <P> <P> <HR> <A HREF="wordtrans_en-5.html"><IMG SRC="next.gif" ALT="Next"></A> <A HREF="wordtrans_en-3.html"><IMG SRC="prev.gif" ALT="Previous"></A> <A HREF="wordtrans_en.html#toc4"><IMG SRC="toc.gif" ALT="Contents"></A> </BODY> </HTML>
