It may not be necessary to convert as it may be available online. Stardict dictionaries are not easy to find now as the project in sourceforge has been closed but here is a cache.

Can you give some more info comparing QStardict to DictionaryStar? I am using DictionaryStar and find it quite well made and swift viewer, there is no trial for Qstardict so I wonder what will be better using it.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
Qstardict displays a filtered list of words as you type so you do not have to complete the word or know how to spell it correctly. This alone is worth the asking price.

DictionaryStar also display filtered list as you type. I am not arguing weather or not asking price is worth it, just want to know what is better there.
