I would recommend the mscim-googlepinyin package.

If you are learning Chinese, download the MStarDict package too, and the URX-ZHEN English to PinYin dictionaries for it. They are a bit difficult to find, so let me know if you can't.

Hi Xagoln, I have installed MStarDict, and downloaded URX-ZHEN English to PinYin dictionary (.BDC file).

I copied the .BDC file to MStarDict Folder then I opened MStarDict, but there was nothing happen.

Do you know why?

Thanks before

Chris, you should have downloaded a .taz.bz2 version of URX-ZHEN.

Then you need to unpack it inside /home/user/.stardict or /home/user/.mstardict (whichever one you have - I forget which one it is).

I managed to find a copy of URX-ZHEN the other day after a lot of searching on the net, but I don't remember where. Are you able to find it?

Hmm, have you updated your phone to the PR1.3 SSU (update from Nokia)?

And which SCIM package did you install?
