Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

thanks . .where can i find some woking eng-ita dictionary??

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Looks like the site for their dictionaries is now http://www.stardict.org/download.php - there look to be a few eng-ita dictionaries amongst them

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Great app, thanks!

There is lots of English dictionaries to other languages, from and to.
However, not so much dictionaries between these "second" languages.

What would be useful, that one could further translate from the results by tapping the result words.

So, lets say we have "en -> fr", "fr -> en", "en -> ru" and "ru -> en" dictionaries installed.

Assume futher I am French and know just little English. I want to see what is a word "chat" in Russian.

First I search for "chat", which will give translation to English: "cat" (from fr -> en dictionary)
Then I could tap with the finger to that word "cat" and it would search again this time giving results "chat" (from en -> fr" dictionary) and "кошка" (from en -> ru dictionary).

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Thanks !!!

Very good application

i prefer it than qstardict

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Not an MStarDict problem, but the situation is really frustrating. All stardict dictionaries have disappeared from any likely and intuitive source.

The download links are broken, the servlet application here is broken too http://www.stardict.org/downloadit.p...-2.4.2.tar.bz2

Overall a really poor experience so far...hopefully I will waste less than 5 productive hours getting a Chinese dictionary installed...

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

thanks for your work, it's great.

just a little suggestion, maybe you can make a touch button for saying just beside the clear button.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

very good idea
no need to touch the top and then click "say"

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Where is the dictionary? I can't find it, or it doesn't come up in any searches?

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Hi All,

I was abple to install dictionaries but i don't understand why, i can see listed only the dict where the file extension is .dict
All the dict that have file extension .dict.dz are not readable on my n900. I have tried to remove the .dz extension but hte dict os not listed.

Any idea?

Thanks

Giorgio

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

It looks like the dict.dz files are dictd format, so there should be a .index file along with them. Make sure you copy both over to the N900.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Hi Rob1n, thanks for your reply. basically i notice that all the dic from this web site:

http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down2/inde...ormat=StarDict

are in the format dict.dz

when i decompress them, in the diretory i can find 3 files, for example:

oxford.dict.dz
oxford.idx
oxford.ifo

is the .index file the .idx file i can see in the uncompressed directory?

I can notice that if i copy the directory on the n900 probably the dictionary is seen by mstardict because i can see an empty space in the list of the dictionary before the dict that have only the .dict extension but that is not possible to use it.

In the case it is in dictd format, it is possible to convert it?

Thanks again

Giorgio

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Ah - those are in XDXF format. I've just tried it and copying the three files over works fine for me.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I see, i guess than in my n900 or i have some lib missing or out of date, will try to investigate.

Thanks

Giorgio

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Been trying to install MStarDict onto my N900 (with PR1.1.1) but the pkg manager gives me this:

"Unable to install 'MStarDict'
Application packages missing: defoma"

Attempting this over the command line yields:

Is this one of these PR1.2 dependency issues? This page suggests this pkg may only be available for Diablo (or more likely, it's out of date))

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

No, it's nothing to do with PR1.2. According to the main package page defoma should be in the Nokia Applications repository.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Hi,
I downloaded the "Engligh Idioms (eng-eng)" (file: comn_sdict05_idioms_eng_eng.tar.bz2) from the link http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/index.php. I extracted the file and copied the result file into the mstardict folder. However, the app does not pick up this new dictionary file. I have other dictionary files in the same folder and I am able to see/use them within the MStarDict. Any idea on how I can make this work?

thanks,

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Hi, same problem, all the dict from that site are in XDXF format and looks like that some n900 users have problems with those files. I guess that the issue is with the version of some system library but i was unable to find out wich one.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

This should be fixed in version 0.6-1

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Did you changed "Download format" from XDXF to StarDict? New version of mstardict will automatically navigate you to that page with selected StarDict "Download format", because http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php is no longer working.

BTW: MStarDict is finally in testing, so please vote in order to push it to extras. Thanks :)

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I a trying to run mstardict on my N900, but although application installed successfully when I start it from menu it shows loading and then dies. If I try to start it from XTerm I can see it is loading plug-ins and then complains about e-speak missing(I haven't isnatlled it) and then dies.
Any ideas? Is it espeak causing the problem?

EDIT: Installed espeak - still mstardict wont start. PR1.2 on the device.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

i need an english dictionary ? cant find the file can someone give me a direct link? please help i really cant seem to find it

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

En<->En (Oxford)

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Link please :)

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Thanks for the neat app. I was using qstardict but it does not work anymore with Pr1.2.

Two suggestions/feature requests:

- ability to save entries to file (as in qstardict). I would like to write a little script to create glossaries for tomotko from those saved files sooner or later.

- ability to sort the dictionaries. I use a de->en and a de->de dictionary, and would like to have the de->de results at the top (so I don't see the translation right away).

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

@feydrutha: Talking of tomotko... Not wanting to hijack this thread in any way but could you tell me if the latest version works now that PR1.2 is out, please.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

[QUOTE=oldpmaguy;545283]You got me thinking about this, that I'd like this too.

Check out the "URX ZHEN Chinese-English dictionary" at the link I posted earlier in this thread, here
http://reciteword.sourceforge.net/stardict/babylon.php
It has your pinyin, I believe.

Sorry to bother you by coming back to this older part of the thread.
As SourceForge changed the links I cannot download the URX....Dict. As I need urgently pinyin in my dicts, I ask you to send me this dic or publish another link for download, if you know a new link. Thanks in advance
RR

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Same here - so thanks a lot indeed! :)

I like in particular the generally better readability, although I have difficulties reading words typed in blue. Is there a way to customize this? If not, I'd ask for a somewhat lighter blue in future versions.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I really like it so far :) Is there a possibility to use another on-screen keyboard layout to enter for example Cyrillic signs?

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Another feature request: it would be great to be able to select and copy text out of a translation. It makes sense for the default behavior when touching the screen be to scroll the results page (that's by far the most frequent use-case), but some way of copying text out would be good.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I'm having the same problem, I install the dictionary files to /MyDocs/mstardict keeping them in their folder and when I try to load a dictionary all I get is a blank button which can be selected but has no name and loads no dictionary. Any ideas about what to do?

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Great app. Thank you.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Same Here..I copy all the dictionary's file to the MyDocs/mstardict
Open Mstardict..load dic..nothing appears.
The mstardict was auto created as the time we install Mstardict..(i guess casue's i see it there ..i didnt creat it my self)

I used terminal to check and it was there but somehow mstardict cant find it. That's suck
I am a normal user..i just need some useful apps for daily activities. However this takes the Sh*t ****

When i bought the phone on Amazon ..the MyDocs or N900 as you open File Manager was remaned to my name..Is anyone know how to rename it.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

all,
do not know whether this is specific to me or not; however, it appears that if this app is left open(with the search prompt for new word); my unit does not go to idle and battery is drained overnight. Do you have similar experience?

firmware: PR1.2, with latest titan overclocking kernel(ideal profile, 500-850), no internet,bluetooth, or phone connection.

Cheers

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

The name shown is that set for the Bluetooth device name in the Settings app.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Whatever!! i got it work like a charm now.
It works very pretty good. I can find definition for a word with 3 or more dicts at the same time. Dont need to switch between dicts like others.

Thanks bro, it is what i was looking for. This phone operates absolutely different with other.
but it's great

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Hello there...greetings from Colombia...I just downloaded your application and I'm downloading dicts directly from my N900 into nokia N900/mstardict/.....everyfile appears with a ? before its name....what's the next step? how can I activate them? am I doing it wrong? do I need to download them first in my computer? am I missing something...
As you have already figured it out...can you please make the explanation stupid proof (I'm kind of stupid ejem, cough, cough..huh?:cool:.....when it comes to maemo and computers and x terminals and roots..):D

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

What happen when you select "MStarDict" and then "Dictionaries"? Do you see a list of dictionaries there? Also, what/which dictionary have you downloaded?

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

nothing...it says no dictionaries...so I downloaded them from the aplication into the folder (eng-spanish eng-portu, en-eng)
I have been browsing and apparently i have to do something in the x terminal but not pretty sure how to...something about "tar"
