Quite many years ago I added support to wordtrans to read Babylon's old
English-Hebrew dictionary. Principally, it should still work. I do not
use it for several years now. You need this old dictionary, which is not
on their website anymore. I might have a copy, if you want to try. It's
called eng-heb.exe, you can search for it.

I usually use google's links to answers.com, for my own needs. Slower
than wordtrans, requires Internet access, but works everywhere.
