Excelent tool! I almost can't believe that I can now carry the complete Wikipedia (sans pictures) in my pocket. Amazing! Kudos to the coders for a job well done!

I'm working now on getting a good Brazilian Portuguese dictionary into it... will post here when I succeed.

Thank you Most of it goes to Pedia Press and the mwlib team that does all the heavy lifting needed to properly parse Mediawiki markup.

It's best to post your questions to http://aarddict.org/forum/ if you need any help with aardtools.

Where the content of this dictionary comes from? If it's license allows free distribution we can host it at http://aarddict.org.

It works in my n900 very nicely
you have to check out
http://aarddict.org/
download section
It will add it's own repository to download it.
I uses it's own format .aar for dictionaries and has some ready for download , torrents that is. It also has some tools to convert other dicts into it's own format, but I have not tried that yet.

worked great, but why does it always open the available connection box ? im not highlighting the check online !
and also when i scroll by my finger it highlights the whole article and seems the only way to scroll is by opening the keyboard and use up/down arrows.
any1 tried it and found a solution ? specially with the online issue ?

You may write a file at
/home/user/.aarddict with the filename user.css
Containing
body {-khtml-user-select: none;}
sadly this disables text selection but helps somewhat with scrolling. I prefer to point somewhere just left to the thin right bar and scroll.
As to the automatic connection, yes it does this also to me, Don’t know why.

I don't know. This doesn't happen to me. Try installing a different dictionary and see if the same thing happens?
