Beta Goldendict 0.9.0Svn

[Hitnrun]

Well, after find out the existence of this program by this thread, I tried it on the Pandora, and it really runs well and is useful, so maybe we should let Tavin port something simpler and just let us use this good dictionary on the Pandora.

I am releasing it as beta for now, because it gives an error about not find the XRECORD X11 extension, but besides this (and some screens don't fitting the Pandora screen) it seems to be running very well.

The program has a "portable" mode that really helped on porting, at first run it will create a portable/content directory on appdata/goldendict, put your dictionary files there and they should work.

There you go!

Thanks. I use the dictionary I installed on my phone, but I'd also like one on the Pandora. Do you know what dictionary formats it will accept?

Thank you.

Thank you.

On the site it says:

* Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources
* StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn dictionaries
* Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files
* ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations. The files can be optionally compressed with dictzip. Dictionary resources can be packed together into a .zip file.
* ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed separately, or be referred to from .dsl files.

All BGL and StarDict I tried besides the ones that have Asian language worked (the Asian languages ones crashed the application, but they crashed on the desktop too).

Well, managed to overcome this message, released!

In case anyone is interested and after the Oxford Concise Dictionary and Thesaurus; you can download the Babylon version for free, from this link on the website: http://www.babylon.com/redirects/download.cgi?type=2053 (You just need to extract the .bgl files from the .exe using an archive extractor).

You can also get some other premium dictionaries and encyclopaedias for free too.

Thanks again Hitnrun, I can use this on my Fedora Linux laptop and the Pandora (when it comes).

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the port, I'm gonna be using this program a lot... I'm having problems with asian dictionaries too, but since that's a problem of the desktop version too, I guess we'll have to wait until that gets fixed.

Again, thanks a lot for this great port.
