I'm hoping to do some playing around with translation and wanted some machine readable bidirectional dictionaries (i.e. English <=> Spanish) to start me off. Something like what comes out of word-reference would be awesome. I know they have an API, but getting something I can use locally would be best. Any ideas?
Wiktionary was pretty great for this and they do daily machine readable dumps. You can get started with this nifty script written by Matthias Buchmeier that parses the dump for you to give you a very easy to work with bilingual dictionary.

I tried to really learn it but it's the most frustrating interface I've ever used in my life. I understand the concepts but positioning things just where I want them is very difficult. So, are you guys using it?
Yes, it's extremely hard to grasp at first but it's a wonderful tool.

Is it possible to program without using a database to export text directly to a Numbers or Excel document?
I mean if you have like "name", "phonenr", "date" etc. and you want to send and save it to an excel/numbers document. Is it possible to do it by code ?
I know how to send the text as an email with code, just don't know if its possible to save it to excel/numbers document.
Tried to search for a solution to this but only thing I found was going through a db. I was thinking of avoiding it as far as I can to simplify my application. (Haven't started yet, so I don't have any example how it will look like). Hope this explanation of was enough, ask if you don't understand it :)
yeahm you can do that by using excel lib for the language you are using,

How do I send an array through the internet from an OSX computer to an IOS device, Sorry I don't know to much about Objective C I am planning on creation an application and I haven't yet started creating it.
Thanks
What you basically want to do is use your OS X as a server. and then download information from there. If you are new to Objective-C I would recommend you read some tutorials before you get started.
Here you can find some general iOS tutorials: http://www.raywenderlich.com/tutorials
Here you can find one on NSURLSession (connecting to servers): http://www.raywenderlich.com/51127/nsurlsession-tutorial
Do some research before starting, or else it will probably result in a bad architected code. There also are several Stack Overflow questions with good references.

I am using Objective-C and I would like to generate a piano note. I don't want to use/embed a file at all; I want the phone to generate this sound some how. I don't know if I should be using CoreMIDI to do this (and if I do, I don't know how to use it) or CoreAudio or something else. Any suggestions?
This might a bit of an overkill, but if you want to do something more than generating a piano note, and work with musical generation you might want to have a look at this :

It's a programming language that allows (among other things) to synthesise audio.
It has been the base for some music applications published on iOs, namely the ones by Smule.

This is something I've been wondering for a bit.
If you were to write a successful site/app, would writing it in rails give you and advantage, say for getting the app noticed, as opposed to writing it in PHP etc?
Do people/companies who write in ruby/rails actively promote that their site/app is written in rails so it gets more publicity/hype?
Appreciate any feedback/POV's.
Not much. People don't look under the covers. The advantage is that you can build it faster and change it faster, which means you get to market faster.
Though some companies mention that the app runs on Rails or built in NYC, regular users, as a rule, do not care what the app they are using is built upon. But if you plan to eventually sell it or draw the investments, the trendy technology will certainly give you some bonus points.
