    I am very satisfied with these resources but I am also curious
    if there are any other dictionaries available for GNU/Linux,
    and I am only interested in local, not online, resources.

    I am aware of StarDict but have never used it.

    https://stardict-4.sourceforge.net/index_en.php

    Can anyone offer recommendations?

    Install a distribution and you will get some offline dictionaries :-D

    It's some kind of proof of sanity. There is no reason behind any of LP/DG/FF/FR/whatever request. He just want to make believe he knows what
    a terminal is. He wouldn't know what to do with a dictionary.
