It may not be necessary to convert as it may be available online. Stardict dictionaries are not easy to find now as the project in sourceforge has been closed but here is a cache.

@SamGan
Can you give some more info comparing QStardict to DictionaryStar? I am using DictionaryStar and find it quite well made and swift viewer, there is no trial for Qstardict so I wonder what will be better using it.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Qstardict displays a filtered list of words as you type so you do not have to complete the word or know how to spell it correctly. This alone is worth the asking price.

@SamGan
DictionaryStar also display filtered list as you type. I am not arguing weather or not asking price is worth it, just want to know what is better there.

i suppose the qstardict is better in in term of user interface and prettier looks.:)

another question, which edition of oxford advanced learner dictionary that is available for download in abloz.com and in 4MB ? How many words it has?

Re: Any Decent dictionary reader for n9
 
another issue i had with n9 was lack of quality dictionary app

lumia has many but none are better than the dictionary.com app

Do not manifest your ignorance in a shape of absolute statements!
In this thread alone are discussed 2(two) EXCELLENT dictionary readers for N9/950!

PS. Please stop polluting this forum with false statements, and better participate in one dedicated to WP.

Re: Any Decent dictionary reader for n9
 
the stardict project is dead, and therefore the dictionary database for stardict will never be updated?
