This is really useful to me, thank you. It was very difficult getting it to work though because i only later realised that the stardict files i downloaded from the recommended website had to be extracted first before recognition by mstardict. Anywho, because i have the file manager filebox, i could extract the files on my n900. Handy, aye.
Tested to PR 1.3, Excellent App. Follow this link to download english dictionaries, untar using iZarc and copy to your device "mstardict folder" http://reciteword.cosoft.org.cn/stardict-iso/stardict-dic/dict.org/
I always wanted to have Dict in my N900 trier Qstar and Mstar and still dont have luck followed all possible instructions. Your help is appreciated. Thanks
Wonderful application. I always wanted to have some dictionary on the go and add more value to my N900 Pros 1) Easy to setup - download dictionaries in StarDict format. Un tar using WINRAR on a desktop and then put it in the mstardict folder on your N900. 2) Easy to search for a word. Just start typing and it searches to all the selected dictionaries and once you click on a word, it shows the results from all the setup dictionaries. That is really great as one dictionary might be more descriptive than the other.
Few suggestions. 1) Please if possible allow to change the background color. The default this application uses is black. But it is not the best choice as if we see some key words are highlighted using blue/red and they don't appear great on a black background. May be a olive or cream color will be great and the text be shown in black. 2) Navigation across words. Hyperlinking on the text to show it's meaning. If possible.
These are good to have requests. Overall I like this application and is definitely a recommendation to all N900 users.
Great app, and EASY... I tried qstardict many times and could not figure out how to get the dictionary files I downloaded to show... with mstardict is was a no brainer!... Thank you
Great to replace Qstardict, which fails in PR1.2
Thanks!
I use easy debian and throw it I use stardict because it can show images for longman dictionary but your dictionary didn't show any images.
Simple and easy to use and Dictionaries are easy to get and to install. Excellent!
