I would like to have a dictionary for offline use and which will be running in background. And when I select a word anywhere like in pdf, or in document, and it should pop-up or when I select the word and right click, there should be an option to get meaning.

Similar to google chrome has dictionary.com extension...

Is this available somewhere?

Stardict used to do this, but hasn't been developed in years.

Maybe one of these will work, they mostly seem to require internet access, though.: http://alternativeto.net/software/stardict/
