mDictionary for the N900
 

I would like to have a dictionary on the N900 and I found mDictionay (which I already use on my Nokia 5800) for Maemo. I haven't found any information for Maemo 5 (only 2008 and older) for mDictionary so my question is if it is possible to mDictionary (or another offline dictionary) on the N900? I would like to try it on my own but I think I have to wait two more weeks to get it :(
Thanks for help.

I think that is possible to download wiktionary and browse it through the web browser offline, but I don't know how to do it.
I will search for it and if I find a solution I will let you know.

There are plans to get QStarDict ported. It actually works already, I've tried, but there was a problem with detecting dictionaries last time I tried. I'll try to figure this out, I already promised the Maemo maintainer to package up some free dictionaries once he fixes the detection issue and optifies the app :)

Waoh, sounds great. Thanks so far! Maybe it will be available when I get my N900 :)

btw: Aren't you the one who needs money for a N900 Tomaszd? I saw a donate button on a blog but it didn't work (and now I don't know anymore which site)...

Re: mDictionary for the N900
 

QStarDict is in Extras-devel now: http://maemo.org/packages/view/qstardict/
Tomaszd have you tried that version by any chance?

Re: mDictionary for the N900
 

There will be version 0.13.2 soon and if everything goes right it will be in Extras-testing (right now it is in autobuilder build queue).

That's great!
Where do I have to extract the dictionaries? I downloaded some of the dictionaries for StarDict from http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php and they say you should extract them to /usr/share/stardict/dic but I am not sure if this is the correct place for QStarDict...

Re: mDictionary for the N900
 

You can put them in ~/.stardict/dic

Just create the directory if it doesn't exist.

Re: mDictionary for the N900
 

You can put dic folder wherever you want. After that add it in the stardict plugin configuration.

Re: mDictionary for the N900
 

After the newest Firmware update, I had the phone reinstall all the programing from a backup. Now the dictionary fails to work. It doesn't show a list of words. (Black) and you can't load dictionaries into it. The toolbar comes down with 4 different HELP buttons. Anyone know what is wrong with it?
