StarDict port for Kindle 3?
Unfortunately, the Kindle's dictionary support is limited. For example, it can display Russian ebooks, but you cannot look up words in them.
It would be great if someone could port the free StarDict dictionary to the Kindle. StarDict support is integrated in some FBReader versions (but not fbKindle) and Duokan, but the Duokan developers didn't implement the word selection lookup algorithm correctly, because it only works with English and Chinese. |

Bump
Since there are so many talented Kindle programmers in this forum. I'd really appreciate it, if someone would create a StarDict port. IHMO, there are a couple of good reasons for doing this:

GoldenDict is being ported on K3 and PW here: http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25800
To summarize (if you don't know Russian ): some progress was made (https://github.com/VVSiz/Goldendict-Kindle), but end-user result isn't available yet. |

Re sdcv:

This would then give us: /usr/local/src/sdcv/src/lib/mapfile.hpp:26:18: sorry, unimplemented: non-static data member initializers AFAIK I would have to use clang to fix that... I think...

Will check it out (assuming a K3 as the target, or can I save myself some eventual trouble and jump to K4/K5?)
