Open Source dictionary libraries [closed]

I am looking for a free to use dictionary in as many spoken languages (english, french, german, ...) as possible.

basically i will need to check if a string exists in a dictionary.

i was thinking about the dictionaries used in firefox or openoffice, since they should be open-source, right? where can i find and download them?

also ideally exists a java library to access the data in the dictionary.
