rebhana: Your instructions are all very nice BUT ...
1. All this MUST BE AUTOMATED for all us commoner (non-Linux geeks) users.
If you want guarantees that everything is completely automated, stick to ovi store perhaps. Nobody forced e.g. qstardict onto you. You are FREE to pick something else. Rather, when installing it you have been warned that you are installing something not coming from Nokia.

Hi,
after installing Qstardict on your n900,
go to
http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down2/inde...ormat=StarDict
and download the dictionaries you want.
Extract them in a folder in your pc.
Connect the n900 via usb and create a folder for the dictionaries (e.g. documents\dict)
copy all of the extracted dictionaries from the computer to the n900 folder that you just created.
disconnect the n900 from the pc and open the qstardict app.
Go to Menu\COnfigure
plugins tab
stardict (make sure a V is on its left)
and click on the wrench tool. Then click on the plus and point it the folder where you previously put the dictionaries.
go back and select the "dictionaries" tab
make sure all the dictionaries are listed and have a V (meaning they are active)
That's it
let me know if it's not clear.
Please help me out.

After several hours of work, I finally managed to copy the files into directory /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/dic
Then I start QStarDict, go to configure -> Plugins, select stardict and click on the wrench tool. List of directories is shown. I click +.
Now I can navigate in some sort of directory sturcture, but it seems to be different from what I see with X Terminal.
Anyway, I found a directory stardict/dic and go there. But it says "No files/folders". I wonder if this is the directory I created?
When I click on the directory name, it is added to the list in stardict plugin settings as /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/dic. And it appears it was already there, so now it is listed twice.
Then I go to Dictionaries tab. And there are no dictionaries listed.
What is the problem?
How can I get QStarDict to recognize the dictionaries?
Why is the directory structure seen in QStarDict different from the directory structure seen in X Terminal?
Had I moved the files in /home/user/.stardict/dic as suggested in some instructions, how could I navigate there since such directories are not seen in QStarDict?

I think the directory you want is just "dic" in the root ("root" as viewed on a computer when connected through USB).
So on my PC it's just "M:\dic"
(Although I don't even use Qstardict anymore, after deciding that Mstardict is far superior in interface and functionality.)

Haha. I am a Linux geek and it all makes sense to me. But my issue is I can't see any links to download any dictionaries on the page referenced.
Can someone share an English dictionary please?

sourforge's roundrobin automatic mirrror thing usually sucks.
I managed to get dictionaries with lynx/links, but not with firefox (addblock+, norefer, or some other plugin made it disfunctional.)
I have /home/user/.stardict.d/stardict, which is a softlink to /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/, where is directory dic, and there is then directories which came from those tar.bz2 files.

But not anymore.
I noticed MStarDict is much better in N900.
MStarDict wants its dictionaries in /home/user/MyDocs/mstardict/
So untarring those downloaded tarballs there makes MStarDict working.
To get QstarDict working with the same dictionaries, I have now
/home/user/.stardict/ where is a softlink "dic" to /home/user/MyDocs/mstardict/
...to get both applications to work with same dictionaries.
Last edited by zimon; 2010-03-29 at 22:17. Reason: got both MStarDict and QStarDict work with the same directory

And, the directory is "downloads/dic". Is that so obscure? (No "." required, btw.)
