What I mean by `dictionary' is sometimes called `glossary'. It is
available e.g. in OmegaT

        http://www.omegat.org/omegat/omegat.html

In particular its manual says

        Glossaries created using Trados Multiterm's text export
        function can be used as OmegaT glossaries without further
        modification, provided they are given the file extension *.tab
        and the source and target term fields are the first two fields
        respectively.

I don't claim that kBabel really needs this functionality, I just
think that the present terminology might be confusing.

Best regards

Janusz
