Search the web for file i/o function tutorials.

Someone told you that file operations are best for a multilingual dictionary application? Unless you phrased your question incorrectly, then you really should not listen to those people. It sounds to me like what you need is to learn about databases and how to work with them. In the year 2010, file operations should only be used if databases can't do what you need it to do for your application. This is especially true for a program meant to look up words in multiple languages. Thats 100% database.

So look at any of these links for more information:
