Working great, another round of thanks to Adam B.!

I installed it on a sd card and it worked. It can display Chinese character all right. Thank you.

And I wonder what I should do to install the program into the internal memory of iliad? Thank you.

I have managed to use stardict on CF with some downloaded dictionaries.
Thanks.

booklover · 08-02-2008, 10:26 PM

Is it possible to run it from internal memory? That would help increase battery life.

I have been using this remarkable software for a couple of months already, and I really love it! However, I must to admit that I forgot to said thank you to the developer, so....THANKS A MILLION, ADAMS!
I have installed several dictionaries and Thesaurus

...French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and still counting...and I really enjoyed the convenience to have all of those available from my Iliad.

Take good care,

Dabon.

Hello, Guys!

I have difficulties running dictionary on my Iliad. Dictionary is in the x:\stardict\share\stardict\dic\ directory and each time I click on it in my Iliad it does not respond at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Dabon · 10-06-2008, 12:39 PM

Hello Kein,

I am not a developer, but I think that I can use my experience with this software to try to hep you.
Here are my questions to you:
1. Were you able to install the software successfully? The software come initially with one dictionary pre installed, so you should have been able to run the software successfully before adding any new dictionary.

2. if you are trying to install a new dictionary, did you get this one from the sources recommended in this forum, and did you make sure that this was a stardict dictionary.

From your responses, I'll see what I can do..

Thanks,

Dabon.

Have you requested developer access from iRex following the tutorials sticky'ed in this forum.

Hello, Adam!

I am little confused with your response. I purchased my Iliad and tried to download and install stardict file. I succesfully installed it, however I was not able to launch it. My Iliad sees the file in the directory that you had it in your thread, which is x:\stardict\share\stardict\dic\ directory. But I am still not able to launch the program. I have some questions:

1. Do I need to request a Developer's package for my Iliad?
2. If not, what is the next step to make the program work properly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Adam B. · 10-23-2008, 07:01 PM

Yes, you'll have to request the devleoper package.

Hope stardict will have a better implementation with the new community develop plan. Does anyone know whether it is included in the plan? I wish they would also consider adding the "point-and-translate" function in PDF files.

Hello, Adam!

Finally, got it done. My stardict program has been installed and is working. Now, I am trying to install FBReader. I did everything you were mentioning in your thread about it, however, FBReader, despite being installed, and it is being shown in the contentlist as "FBReader has been successfully installed", could not be launched, because it does not create "program" folder in CF card, and maybe because of that I am not being able to run it.(?) I repeated the steps a few times, but I am facing the same problem. I did request the developer's package and it's been succesfully installed. Now, I am reading lot's of threads about firmware upgrade, and it is being suggested that v.2.12 needs to be upgraded to. On Irex's developers site there is only vs 2.11 as the latest available. Would 2.11 be sufficient enough?, and how would I install it?, by simply unzipping and copying it to my CF card or not?. And if yes, would it help me to install FBReader successfully? And one other question: I found a Russian dictionary, the files of which are of .koi type, and I read that FBReader supports russian, so do you think that would be sufficient for me to run this type of a dictionary on my Iliad? Happy Holidays! And thanks for your inputs!

Hello, Dabon!

Sorry for getting back to you this late. I had some difficulties installing stardict dictionaries on my iLiad, and finally, after reading all this great posts, I was able to install it and it is running ok, so far. I do have some trouble installing a english-russian or russian-english dictionary, although I found it on one of the recommended sites, but I was not able to dowbload it for some reason, and finally got it from that dictionary's site. Dictionary files are of .koi type, and though I was able to install it onto my iLiad, I was not able to run it, because my iLiad was not seeing it for some reason. Any ideas of what to do next? Happy Holidays! Thanks a Million
