Esperanto translation using Apple Dictionary on OS X
First, get the English to Esperanto stardict dictionary here and the Esperanto to English dictionary here.
Then, download DictUnifier here.
Lastly, run DictUnifier and point it at each of the dictionaries you downloaded (or any other stardict format file) and they will be transformed into a dictionary in Apple's Dictionary app.
If you want to remove a dictionary, simply delete it from ~/Library/Dictionaries
The extra side benefit to this is that the standard ^⌘D dictionary keyboard shortcut will bring up a dialog that can be used for translation:
Esperanto keyboard layout for OS X
I just found an Esperanto keyboard layout for OS X that seems to work well in 10.5 (Leopard).It's available here: http://www.options4.com/options/software/keyboards.xhtml
The most recent version, 10.3, is the one I chose. I used Pacifist to extract the .bundle file from the package and put it into "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts", since I prefer to do things manually. Thus, I can't guarantee that the installer itself works.
And if you're not familiar with Esperanto, I recommend reading this: http://esperanto.net/info/index_en.html
