Olam

Look up an English word and read its Malayalam equivalent in Olam’s desktop dictionary interface. It brings the Olam English-to-Malayalam Dictionary to Linux as an unofficial Ubuntu desktop client, giving vocabulary work a Qt-based graphical front end. That makes it useful for learners, students, and anyone consulting English–Malayalam terms during study or reference work.

Search centers on English entries and returns their Malayalam meanings, so the program addresses quick bilingual vocabulary lookup rather than broader language instruction. Olam deliberately stays focused on dictionary consultation and does not add separate learning features. Published by Aboobacker MK, it is open-source software in the Education category, intended for straightforward work with English and Malayalam vocabulary. Qt supplies its graphical interface, distinguishing this client from accessing the dictionary through a different kind of interface.

The current release is v1.2.151+git4.45662d9 and runs on Linux systems with snapd. It targets the x86_64 (amd64) architecture, which is the supported machine type for this release.
