This is especially configured for Malayalam Dictionary. There are so many dictionaries are available as given below. dictml.dict is an english to malayalam offline tab divided dictionary. you can also enable google translate too. but it will take more time and need good internet connection, so it is not activated by default. you can edit and activate it in interSubs_config.py
