Replacement of Windows softwares: bilingual dictionaries

Is there any good GNU/Linux native bilingual dictionary?
(French/English to be more specific)

Since I have replaced Adobe Acrobat 5.0 by PDF Studio (www.qoppa.com), the Hachette-Oxford dictionary is my last Windows application running under Wine.

Only the reader.

PDF Studio allows me to edit PDF documents (e.g; Bookmarks).

Okular, a very nice software to edit PDF files is coming with kde4.
It'll be another kde killer app.

any of these dictionaries here: http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict can be accessed via command line with dict from community/dictd, as well as your usual DE dictionary program.

try StarDict

QStarDict (in AUR) supports all StarDict dictionaries without the awful interface.
