i couldnt get zbedic to find the dictionaries (the zbedic ipk from the upgrades feed contributed by hrw). nor could i add the dictionaries by clicking on them from the documents tab as mentioned in some posts. finally i managed to edit add the dictionaries by editing /root/Settings/zbedic.conf.
in the line containing 'active-dictionaries=', append the dictionary file names as <full_path_name_dictionary1>:<full_path_name_dictionary2>: etc etc.
the delimiter ':" should not have any spaces before and after.
also, install the unifonts to see chinese characters etc.
hope this helps someone.....
cheers,
