Hy, can anyone tell me how can i load a dictionary ?
I have 2 dictionaries downloaded to the N900/mstardict folder. yet the program doesnt load anydictionaries.

The files are
stardict-comn_sdict05_german_english-2.4.2.tar.bz2
This is stardict format
and
comn_sdict05_ger_eng.tar.bz2
This is XDXF format.

I'm guessing i have to use the stardict format.
Do i have to unpack the archive or what ?

Both XDXF and stardict format are supposed to work, but several people have reported issues with XDXF files. In either case, you'll need to extract them first:

Code:

bunzip2 stardict-comn_sdict05_german_english-2.4.2.tar.bz2
tar xf stardict-comn_sdict05_german_english-2.4.2.tar

CC-CEDICT in UTF-8, with both traditional and simplified Chinese and Pinyin to English.

Here is my conversation of cedict ,has some problems but at least you are free to try it.
This dictionary is Chinese(Pinyin)-English Only. I made it to myself, because at the moment could be useful for me.
download here
1.Download it to a folder.
2.Unzip and copy to (

Code:

7z x -o stardict-cedict-pinyin.zip /home/user/MyDocs/mstardict

folder. (you need to have installed 7z from extra-dev), or download it on your PC/extract and copy to /mstardict folder in mass storage mode.
3.Choose it from dictionary list.

This dictionary work only with MStarDict! ( for unknown for me reason it does not work with QStarDict )

I am struggling with N900, I cannot install dictionary at all. I have extracted the files in the MyDocs/mstardic folder but nothing works.

Also the commonds u mentioned does not work either.
bunzip2 stardict-comn_sdict05_german_english-2.4.2.tar.bz2
tar xf stardict-comn_sdict05_german_english-2.4.2.tar

AM I missing some software.
Why Nokia/Maemo made it so hard for people to install a simple dictionary. I just bought this phone but if it goes like this I will sell it.

You may be missing the bzip2 package - running "dpkg -l bzip2" will show a line starting with "ii" if it's installed. If not, install rootsh via App Manager, then run the following in X Terminal to install it:

Code:

root
apt-get install bzip2

Thanks for MStarDict. The simple full screen size dialogue makes the text very easy to read. One wish, it would more user friendly to add the "Speak" button so that user does not have to tab on the "Translation" on top to call out the "Say" button.

Is there a way to display phonetic symbols correctly?

For now, they don't appear at all. I checked the DICT files and the correct HTML entities are present.

I guess the font used in this app doesn't know about those characters. Is there a way to change it? What fonts can display such characters?

It's a free application, yes, and is available via App Manager, the same as most Maemo software. If you want the source code, that's also available from the repository.
