The translation appears in a neat window as soon as I select a word. Even with loads of dicts loaded it responds very fast!
I'm glad it works for you. Where there any details about the installation process that bear posting here?

In qt applications the matchbox-keyboard does not pop up.
Does qstardict require a hardware keyboard or is there a work around?
Ah, yes. I've only tried it on my N810, with the hardware keyboard. I don't believe that Qt supports the software keyboard on the N800 or 770, if the application hasn't been Hildonized.

Sorry, but the keyboard will probably need to wait for another (better) developer to look at the code, or for improvements to the Maemo Qt library that add matchbox-keyboard support at that level.
