Edit 20100804: new release v2.3
To upgrade to v2.3 use the latest binary _stardict/bin/stardict .
Popup window stabilization. Now popup hides *only* when you click outside it.
Previously it became hidden on clicking inside or even on putting the stylus close to DR
Yess! Here's a long awaited software working just fine on the beloved DR800 and for DR1000 users. As usual unpack everything to have
<sdcard>
----/Programs/
<-- this one is important!! will work correctly only from here!!
--------_stardict/
--------stardict.desktop
You can translate individual words during reading a book in FBReader! Open StarDict, then Go back to SD-Card (leave StarDict open!), start FBReader, open your book and do a relatively fast double click on a word. In a second you have a translation.
There's Webster dictionary already inside, so you can check out whether the thing is operable. The dictionaries are available here
http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/index.php .
Important! You have to select StarDict format in the combo (upper right corner of the page) and press submit. Extract dictionaries to _stardict/share/stardict/dic/
Tons of dictionaries in the correct format are located here
http://www.huzheng.org/stardict-iso/stardict-dic/ Again, extract the needed ones to _stardict/share/stardict/dic/
Occasional non-English input symbols can be substituted with ? sign - StarDict will suggest you several guesses (too bad this trick will not work with Cyrillic input ..). Improved multilingual matchbox keyboard may come out later
Exit button is in the lower left corner, a door with an arrow.
Enjoy!
