It seems you're looking for something very similar to the Magenta Dictionary |

I cannot recommend the Magenta Dictionaries because of tons of software bugs!!! The dictionary itself would really be great but Magenta just cannot sort out their software problems concerned with activating the program. I have bought 3 different Magenta Dictionaries in the last few years and I have several friends who have done the same. None of us has really been able to use them. I got one working with the help of a super pro hacker, who reprogrammed some of the code and made it work for me on one computer. Don't buy it!! You'll be sooo frustrated. It is a real pity, because the dictionary would be excellent. Sad but true! Lis |
