Instructions for integrating Sanskrit dictionaries into the built-in Mac Dictionary to enable you to look up a Sanskrit word in Devanagari or transliteration by the standard OS X mechanisms of simply highlighting the word or multi-finger double-tapping.
Instructions:
- Download “OSX Sanskrit Dictionaries.zip” which are in Mac OS X format from Arsha Drishti
- Note: These are in a different format than those used in GoldenDict or IOS
- Unzip them and move them to ~/Library/Dictionaries
- Note: This is a hidden folder, so you must use Finder Meu -> Go -> Go to Folder … to get there, or show hidden folders/files with Command + Shift + .
- Open the Dictionary application and enable the new dictionaries in Dictionary -> Preferences
