  from any of the <link xref="sources-select">selected dictionaries</link>,
  the problem is more likely one of the following:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>One or more of the selected <app>DICT</app> servers that are used to
      look up definitions may not be working. You can try waiting a while
      before <link xref="definition">looking up</link> the definition
      again.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>You may not have a working Internet connection. For
      <app>Dictionary</app> to look up terms, your computer
      <link href="help:gnome-help/net">must be able to connect</link> to
      <sys href="http://dict.org">dict.org</sys>.</p>
