sdcv: List installed dictionaries.
$ sdcv --list-dicts
try on your machine

The command "sdcv --list-dicts" is used to list all the available dictionaries in the sdcv (StarDict Console Version) program.

"Sdcv" is a command-line program that allows you to look up words and phrases in various dictionaries. It stands for "StarDict Console Version" and is a console-based counterpart of the StarDict program.

The "--list-dicts" option is used to display a list of dictionaries that have been installed and are accessible for use with sdcv. These dictionaries are typically stored in a specific directory, and the command displays their names or other relevant information such as the language or type of dictionary.

By executing "sdcv --list-dicts", you can see the available dictionaries, which you can then choose from when performing word lookups or translations using the sdcv program.
