StarDict
Edit 20100804: new release v2.3
To upgrade to v2.3 use the latest binary _stardict/bin/stardict . Popup window stabilization. Now popup hides *only* when you click outside it. Previously it became hidden on clicking inside or even on putting the stylus close to DR Yess! Here's a long awaited software working just fine on the beloved DR800 and for DR1000 users. As usual unpack everything to have <sdcard> ----/Programs/ <-- this one is important!! will work correctly only from here!! --------_stardict/ --------stardict.desktop You can translate individual words during reading a book in FBReader! Open StarDict, then Go back to SD-Card (leave StarDict open!), start FBReader, open your book and do a relatively fast double click on a word. In a second you have a translation. There's Webster dictionary already inside, so you can check out whether the thing is operable. The dictionaries are available here http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/index.php . Important! You have to select StarDict format in the combo (upper right corner of the page) and press submit. Extract dictionaries to _stardict/share/stardict/dic/ Tons of dictionaries in the correct format are located here http://www.huzheng.org/stardict-iso/stardict-dic/ Again, extract the needed ones to _stardict/share/stardict/dic/ Occasional non-English input symbols can be substituted with ? sign - StarDict will suggest you several guesses (too bad this trick will not work with Cyrillic input ..). Improved multilingual matchbox keyboard may come out later Exit button is in the lower left corner, a door with an arrow. Enjoy! Details for developers: Spoiler:
Changes: v2.3:

Wow, this is close to my need, discussed in an earlier thread. Can this dictionary be used while reading a book, as in a lookup function?

Thus you will get tabs for every app/book opened and you can go from one app to another without closing them. Anyway, be very careful, it could be dangerous for the stability of your device. Iņigo [1] https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86082 |

Newer versions of StarDict (3.0.*) allow starting them in a "server" mode, thus require no visual part. Do not know if this is the case for the current 2.4.8. The only thing to make sure is whether it is possible to mark/select words in usual books, like pdf, epub etc. I remember in desktop Acrobat Reader I had to click on special tool = by default this feature is switched off. Have no idea how it is in DR800 Acrobat. Same no idea for epub and the others. I guess I have to study the plugins implementation.
Word lookup works just fine when you mark/select smth inside a StarDict article. |

Works fine. No trouble at all. Add several extra dictionaries. That will be great make Stadict plugging for FBReader... But, I should say, this program added lots of value to DR!

IT WORKS ! IT JUST WORKS !!
Ok, open StarDict, then Go back to SD-Card (leave StarDict open!), start FBReader, open your book and double click on a word. In a second you have a translation. Thank you for the tip! mmm, FBReader .. Nice idea, thank you! I've just checked, it is possible to select a word in FBReader by doing double-click. Now two little steps are to be done: 1) clean up StarDict 3.0.2 to make it work smoothly and 2) put a word into a buffer once it is selected in FBReader . The latter one is relatively simple (Iņigo, Mackx, can you do this pleease?), while the former would require some efforts .. Something is wrong in the default settings and/or refresh algorithms ..

I have updated the top post. Added a new link to the dictionaries and explained how to combine FBReader + StarDict for word lookup translation.

Yes! It's working in FBReader! Just what I've been longing for since I lay my hands on DR800! But working in FBReader also means no pdf lookup, so what should I do with my heaps of scanned pdfs...(thinking). No matter, it's guys like you that make my dr800 experience so wonderful, thank you dima_tr!!!
