Hi, All<br>
I just installed stardict successfully.<br>
<br>
Here is what I did.<br>
<br>
clicked and installed stardict first
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/">http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/</a><br>
<br>
Then I downloaded and installed dictionaries: dictionaries can be found
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php">http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php</a>.
I selected Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of
Contemporary English and xdict-ce-gb dictionary(a Chinese to English
dictionary). <br>
For each dictionary, you need to unzip the dictionary file to
/usr/share/stardict/dic manually. <br>
To pronounce the English word,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/stardict/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS.tar.bz2?download">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/stardict/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS.tar.bz2?download</a>
needs installing. I downloaded and uncompressed it under /media/mmc2. <br>
Then I started stardict. <br>
You may need to configure stardict where to search sound file by
refine: preference->sound->RealPeopleTTS search path<br>
<br>
That is all.<br>
<br>

Hi, all
Is there an English dictionary Application for OS2800? It will be great
if the dictionary can pronounce the word.

Stardict( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/">http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/</a> ) seems
to support this. Try visiting the original download page -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://stardict.sourceforge.net/download.php">http://stardict.sourceforge.net/download.php</a>
They have the description there:
"WyabdcRealPeopleTTS package make StarDict pronounce those English
words. It is just many .wav files.
In Linux, you can extract(tar -xjvf) the tarball at "/usr/share/". "
I suggest you to try and then let us know if it works for maemo.
