I don't know that much about Tolino's dictionaries. I know my English dictionary is in quickdic format and was taken "compiled" from the Wicktionary project. It looks like the Quickdic project was (is?) an open source project and quite a few dictionaries are available for download here ...

I haven't tested it yet, but I've downloaded the English to Latin dictionary and am curious to see 1) IF it works and 2) How well it works.
That said, it appears that the dictionaries on the Tolino rely solely on open source projects. I'm guessing that means inconsistent quality. My English dictionary is 141 MBs, whereas the Italian dictionary (the one Tolino shows for download at any rate) is 11 MBs. The English dictionary seems decent. The Quickdic Project is designed to allow you to compile your own dictionaries, but I don't know enough about it to tell you how it works. I think this is the link to the "restored" Quickdic Project ...

Their German site is where I originally found information about the Tolinos and their dictionaries. Unfortunately the download link here goes nowhere. I think the link (above) is part of an attempt to restore the Quickdic project.
At any rate, here's the link that (kind of) led me to the others.

EDIT: Tested the Latin-English dictionary. Seems to work well.
