It seems to me that maybe there is a problem with the file system in N900?

I have a 'Data' folder which does show in PC Suite but does not show up in the N900 File Manager. When I open (also N900) CuteExplorer I can see /home/userMyDocs which seems to be the Data folder now called MyDocs? This also means that in QStarDict you cannot choose a MyDocs folder as it lists a Documents folder........ Confused? I am.

Yes, this is a deliberate feature that people on this site actually defend as being kind to newbies by protecting them from using directories where they have no business going.

So your confusion is for your own good!

The last time I questioned this I was told I shouldn't have an N900.

Once you understand that under the MyDocs folder there is a .documents folder and that is where a lot of things go by default, it gets a bit easier.

File managers like CuteExplorer at least tell you the truth and let you see most of the directories that are out there.

That is already one of the dictionaries I am using. Just to make sure, I deleted my existing files for that dictionary, downloaded again from the above link, extracted the files and copied them to my N900. And it works fine.

I don't use PC Suite so don't know which N900 directory it exposes to PC Suite. But if you connect N900 as mass storage then what you see is
"/home/user/MyDocs/"

When you add a path for dictionary in qstardict and you click on "internal memory" you will start off in "/home/user/MyDocs/", you should probably then click "New" and create a directory to store your dictionaries.

Note if you plan on installing and using mstardict as well then you should put your dictionaries in "/home/user/MyDocs/mstardict". This way both qstardict and mstardict can share the same dictionaries since mstardict expects its dictionaries in that location and cannot be changed.

Under Settings>Plugins, you need to enable the "stardict" plugin, and you need to have that row selected then click the wrench.

EDIT: added screenshot

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
I have no single idea about Linux. Yes I'm a beginner, but i can follow instructions. This is the dictionary I'm trying to install:
http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/proje...arabic.tar.bz2

Following the instructions this is what i get:

Any help ?
Thanks.

Your file name is: comn_sdict05_eng_arabic.tar.bz2
command to extract it would be:
Code:
tar jxf comn_sdict05_eng_arabic.tar.bz2
Note the use of "j" as opposed to "z" because that file is using bzip2 compression and not gzip

Quick reply...
You need StarDict format, not XDXF format.

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
hello there, I've download the dictionary from one of the site and the format is in Stardict but the problem is, it is missing a .ifo file. I was wandering is it possible to regenerate it somehow to make StarDict read the file?

The dictionary file is found from here:

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.
i have followed the whole procedure but there does not appeared any dictionary in dictionaries tab:confused:

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Possible silly question,

Following the download dictionarys link , did you make sure that on right hand side, under Other options - Download format you selected StarDic not the default xdxf?

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Thanks it works on my N900. Now I don't have to refer to my E73 to use dictionary any more.

Dear asasan,

Where did you find this English-Italian dictionary?

QStarDict works fine, I can install Italian-English and French-English without problems.

But: I cannot find the English-Italian and English-French dictionaries. Can you provide it?

Cheers, Rob

Both MStarDict and QStarDict use standard stardict format dictionaries. Unfortunately most/all of the original sites containing these have gone/been taken offline, but you can search online for any new sites. Any stardict format (not XDXF) dictionaries should work.
