Title: Dictionary :-)
Post by: jabbath on July 19, 2004, 12:01:34 pm

Hi! Finally it's there  a dictionary for pdaXrom
I compiled stardict:

A screenshot:

stardict has quite a lot of dependencies (gtk gnome-vfs libgnomecanvas libgnome libgnomeui libbonobo libbonoboui orbit2 gconf) but runs fine.

To install a dictionary, download a dictionary tarball from http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php (http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php)

Untar it and move the dictionary-dir to /usr/local/share/stardict/dic

Now stardict should recognize the dictionary.

Example:

Code: [Select]

I want to download an English to German dictionary:

# wget http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/stardict/stardict-quick_eng-deu-2.4.2.tar.bz2
# tar xjvf stardict-quick_eng-deu-2.4.2.tar.bz2
# mv stardict-quick_eng-deu-2.4.2 /usr/local/share/stardict/dic
# stardict &
happy translating

grusz, jabbath

Still looking a a plain english dictionary, without messy formatting tags all over the place though...
