Hello,
thanks guys now it works.
The trick is as follows (implemented on PC)
1 - got to http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down2/
2- select your dictionary
3- slect download format Stardict
4- extract it with WinRAR.
5- some dictionaries have 2 links. e.g. stardict-comn_sdict05_eng_arabic-2.4.2.tar.bz2 and stardict-comn_sdict_axm05_eng_arabic-2.4.2.tar.bz2. in this case select the one with _sdict_axm05
6- copy the 3 files .dz, .idx and .ifo to your N900 mstardict directory

I just noticed something weird when using this app. If MStarDict is running, the pulseaudio process is taking 20% CPU all the time (which drains the battery), even if I didn't use the "Speak" button even once. When I quit the app, the pulseaudio process goes to sleep immediately.
Why does a dictionary actively need the sound process? Am I the only one who've got the problem? Should I file a bug for this?

I have tried these steps, but for some reason, when I go to select a dictionary nothing more then horizontal lines appear (like if it was dividing the different language options). I can select on these empty spaces and a check mark appears, but nothing gets loaded. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Downloaded files from the same link the N900 app redirects you to. Made folders for each language, also tried putting the .tar files without extracting and also tried extracting them and putting them in the folder that winzip generates autamatically.
thanks.

I am trying to install the eng-por and eng-ita dictionaries, i haven't tried uninstalling and re-installing. I don't have good reception here at work, I will try it again when I step outdoors. Also I do have PR1.2.
