You can check the dictionaries (and the library) at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bedic.=20

The library is written in C++, but is pretty simple and can be ported to =
C
easily. Writing an command line (or CGI) app is also pretty easy.

The dictionaries are in UTF-8 format :)

PS. The library contains couple of functions from 9libs :)
