KDict can be started directly from a terminal like Konsole or xterm. Several command line options are available.

kdict word/phrase

kdict -c / --clipboard

define the current content of the clipboard.

kdict -v / --version

Displays the version number of KDict (and that of Qt™/KDE).

kdict --license

Shows under which licenses KDict is being published.

KDict also supports all other command line options common to KDE and Qt™ programs. You can get a list of these options with --help, --help-kde and --help-qt
