By the way, since you mentioned dictionaries. I can't get it to work. I tried to download both WordNet and The Collaborative International Dictionary of English dictionaries from http://yeelou.com/huzheng/stardict-dic/dict.org/ , and followed instructions on how to install them in /system/dict. It detects the dictionaries under "Dictionary Setup", but it has no words (or glossary...), and it just crashes if I try to enter some letters.

Any ideas what I've done wrong or what could be wrong?
Try this:

Dictionaries?
Download one of the StarDict dictionary files
http://reciteword.cosoft.org.cn/star...c/freedict.de/ - are all a bilingual
http://reciteword.cosoft.org.cn/star...-dic/dict.org/ - English dictionaries and thesaurus plus other specialist English dictionaries.
http://stardict.sourceforge.net


Where can I find more StarDict download links?
http://reciteword.cosoft.org.cn/star...o/stardict-dic


How do I install a StarDict dictionary file?

Download a StarDict format dictionary from one of the above sites
Extract three files with the following suffixes (using 7-Zip): dz, idx, ifo
The file ending dz is also compressed file so extract open it (again with 7-Zip or similar program)
Now we have four files: Dz Idx Ifo Dict.
Copy the idx, ifo, and dict files to DK_System\system\dict\
Multiple dictionaries can be installed
