Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I'd suggest starting at the beginning of this thread and reading through. This question has been covered numerous times (and in varying amounts of detail).

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900

if any one cares about us plz help us

i have downloaded two dictionary "Mstardic" and :Qstardict"

first mstardic...."no word loaded"

i downloaded some dicnaries

comn_sdict05_eng_eng_main.tar.bz2

extracted to pc ..in my case the files are (dict.xdxf and icon16.png)
then there was a folder "atomatically created in Mydocs on n900" mstardict

a detailed description needed plz
THANKS!

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

XDXF format does not work (as has been reported several times in this thread) - you need the stardict format dictionaries. There's some very clear instructions in the thread here which cover downloading, extracting, and installing the dictionaries.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

thank you very much sir !!
where can i download urdu and hindi languge ???

i could not find those lenguage in the link ....plz

THANKS! again

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

There's an English-Hindi dictionary here (or here, or here). I can't see any urdu language dictionary though, but I've not spent long searching - try googling for "stardict dictionary urdu" and hunt through the results.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Its really important to state that ONLY WinRAR unzip bz2 files properly. I was struggling with z7 sticking to all instructions, until I realized that there have to be TREE FILES in a folder, not TAR. The key to this issue is
1) WinRAR
2)TREE FILES
To those who still struggle. GoTo

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

7zip works fine, you just need to extract from the .tar file as a separate step. WinRAR (and lots of other GUI tools) makes it easier by doing it in a single step though. You can also use bunzip2 and tar on the N900 to extract them (if you've got the necessary packages installed).

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Thank you Rob1n for your post.

This is a good, clean and easy to use dictionary it also shows which particular dictionary the definition you are looking at comes from.

Excellent app.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

pls how do u copy the extracted files to the mstardict directory?

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I can't seem to cut and paste from the results. Could this functionality be added? I often want to look up a word given in the explanations or example sentences. Using mainly Chinese dictionaries and often the characters are unknown to me and therefore hard to enter. Cut & Paste is then very handy.
With QStarDict you can cut and paste (albeit a bit awkwardly) but then you cannot use Chinese input methods there.
Otherwise a MStarDict is a great application!

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Has anybody using the Oxford dictionaries noticed that there are links to images in the dictionary entries like 'b56789.bmp', instead of just showing the image? I've tried to put the image directory in the same directory as the dictionaries but that doesn't help. Thanks in advance for any help solving this.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

don't know if someone has already asked about this

but could you filter the case sensitivity of the search result?
as for now, if I'm searching for, let's say, "halo", there'll be multiple search results as "HALO", "Halo", "halo". but when I click every one of them, they're actually pointing to the same results
I believe it's because there are 3 dictionaries having HALO entries with different capitalization

so it'd be nice if you can just filter the search result not to showing same words with different caps
thanks for the great works anyway

hi
does anyone have been tried to get auto-resize text when n900 in portrait mode?
if yes, how can i do it?
thanks

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Does anybody know how can we arrange the dictionaries in a specified order,so that desired dictionary comes up in the first place in the result?

Thank you.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

@udaychaitanya16

I don't think you can with mstardict. qstardict allows ordering of dictionaries though.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

it would have been good had it been there.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

i am late to this great thread, why mstardict does not support index browsing just like we browse the dictiomary book to learn new words

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

i cant seem to get any dictionary for mstar dict ... :(

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

you can get the dictionary data from

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I did some update to mstardict:

* Added ability to reorder dictionaries.
* Fixed Russian translation.
* Changed "blue" color to "lightblue" in rendering word articles.

I tried to upload it to extras devel, but something's gone wrong.
So I just uploaded it here.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

@Foreveryoung

Thank you very much.I have been waiting for long.If you could implement copying the content from the dictionary,it would be awesome.Thanks again.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

That (copying) is in my TODO list.
That is it:
* DONE sort dicts
* DONE links more bright
* TODO select text and do smth
* TODO search in entry
* TODO working links
* TODO menu - jump to dict
* TODO forvo
* TODO keyboard friendly
* TODO horizontal scrolling (long titles)
* TODO history of words
* TODO portrait mode

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I find it curious that no one noticed except you and me. I agree it is quite annoying, but to MStarDict's defense I must say that I have looked into this and found that the problem is with the dictionary itself. The main .dict file contains IMG tags referring to the bitmaps with spurious non-printable characters in the file names. Example, <IMG src="_7e3d5890.bmp_">, where _ stands for non-printable chars 0x1E and 0x1F.

I have managed to remove the chars in a hex editor but then the index file did not match and MStarDict crashed on loading the dictionary, so I reverted it back to the original. If anyone could tell me how to fix the index that would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Quick reply...
Is there any offline open source dictionary application which has following features?

• Switch between languages: from A to B, from B to A, from A to C, et cetera... So that instead of having all dictionaries showing the translation, only the small group of them, needed at this time, would be active.
• Create a dictionary, create an article in a dictionary, edit an article in a dictionary... [EDIT]Compiling package 'stardict-tools' on Maemo would have been useful for that goal, though seamless integration of this feature within existing dictionary viewer would require additional effort.[/EDIT]

Best wishes.

Hello Guys, someone should please tell me how to make pictures show when i type in a word that can be represented with a picture in my dictionary.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Repair your dictionary. And automated way of doing this would be greatly appreciated. I have dictionaries - encyclopaedias in dict format - with not-displayed pictures.
Best wishes.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

Do you know how? As I mentioned and you quoted, I tried but with not much success.

Re: [Announce] MStarDict for N900
 

I noticed that the pictures for my dictionary only appear in my phone image viewer. How can i make the pictures appear in the dictionary,i downloaded.
