oh lol stardict in extra can do that if you add dictionary database to it. But the translate will not be in a sentence, it will be in word.

Buy a pocket dictionary. No need for internet and you'll learn much more.

Mine was 2.5USD and has served me well.

Don't forget phototranslator. Take a photo of text and it will translate it to a chosen language. only any good for printed stuff like menu's timetables, maps, signs etc.
Still a useful tool.
Actually you can type in a chosen language and it will show you an output in the translated language in the pane beside it, but i think it does need a internet connection.

Pick up a local SIM card
SIM card with CMCC 100 RMB
Turned on GPRS (I guess ChinaTelecom has 3g?)

try installing SCIM (otherwise no data chinese entry)

Here is what I did when there:
One way is to used a huge 1 page txt list for a dictionary and then grep from the command line to find the translations...

Download City information via wikitravel.org
http://wikitravel.org/en/Beijing
Download large data at wifi hot spots - wifi place (Starbucks etc)
Do not use Boingo - rip off

dictionaries
http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=cedict
http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php
phrases (online)
http://chinese.travel-way.net/

3000 common characters (very nice list you can download so you can view offline)

You can download a bunch of Chinese-English, English-Chinese dictionaries from
here.

Unzip the file, and copy the directories you need into
/home/user/MyDocs/mstardict/

Enjoy :)
