'''Lingoes''' if a program for reading language dictionaries (AKA glossaries) with an emphasis on translation dictionaries, "often compared"<ref>[[Wikipedia:Lingoes]]</ref> to [[BGL|Babylon]]. It uses a dictionary format whose versions have the extensions ".lds" and ".ld2". There is a reference to a ".ldx" extension, apparently also used for the ld2 format<ref>https://github.com/nviet/lingoes-converter</ref>; this may just be a concise way of referring to both the extensions at once.<!--There is nonetheless little harm that can come from including it in the extensions list.--><br />
<br />
As of 2020, the last release of Lingoes was in 2014.<ref>http://lingoes.net/en/translator/download.htm</ref><br />
