Bought my girlfriend a cybook for her birthday and want to install a dictionary since she is learning english. Any recommendations?

thanks,

kaas

Have you checked out what's available at MobiPocket? Their prices are high, but it's the best site for checking out what's available. Once you find something, you can look at the other Mobi stores to find better prices.

I checked mobipocket.com and mobipocket.ru. They have one (1!) single russian dictionary and that is esperanto - russian...

I am trying now to create my own dictionary from a stardict file- so far without success.

Thanks for your input,

kaas

Try

Code:

http://www.the-ebook.org/rus/

and their forums, maybe you'll find something useful there or you can try posting your question there.
I forgot, the site is in russian but google translate is your friend here.

thanks,

a translation is not neccessary

I have found dictionaries for the reb and 505, but no mobi dictionaries there...

cheers,
kaas

I have created my own english-russian dictionary based on a http://www.freelang.net/ dictionary file. If somebody wants it, just holler!

cheers,
kaas

I've got to say that your post got my attention and I started looking for some dictionary files I could use to whip me up a mobi dictionary and honestly it was half an hour job till I got myself a dictionary in mobi format, so I dropped by to see how you're doing in your quest but I see you're fixed all right.

kaas · 02-02-2009, 04:28 PM

Which file did you use? is it any good?
I would gladly try out another dictionary.

cheers,
kaas

Added the dictionaries if anybody wants them.

Dictionary.zip is a dictionary for the sony 505 made from the data of the "V.K. Mueller Dictionary (7th Edition)" (it was not created by me, but the sourcefile is freely -and legally- available on the net).

The mobi dictionary file is from freelang, modified into a mobi file by me.

cheers,
kaas

505 file...it is not LRF....how do you use it?

Someone wrote a standalone "dictionary" program for the 505, astra. I'd guess that this is a dictionary file for that. You'll find information about it in the 505 forum.

Ah, the one you need to use a memory card for? Then, yes, I remember.

Astra,

I got it from the following thread:
http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...ght=dictionary

If you need a translation of how to use it, I certainly can do that (but I assume you speak russian?)

No.
Yes.

I thought you have done something brand new

Hello kaas,

by now you must have become an expert in the subject so may I ask you if you have any clues as to how to install a German-Russian dictionary on a Sony PRS-650? I can see you're in Germany and not unfamiliar with both the Russian language or Sony readers, so guess as far as my question goes this is a perfect combination...
