WeDict

**billchase2** · 07-13-2008, 11:34 PM

Just a heads up that WeDict is now available for FREE in the App Store!

(For those who don't know what it is, it's a dictionary application)

**joechu_2000** · 07-13-2008, 11:55 PM

it's a premiere dictionary app developed by Weiphone dev team.

english-chinese only , that sucks

**Jeckel** · 07-14-2008, 08:20 AM

That would be great. It's better than paying $30 for the other ones.

**oranghutan** · 07-21-2008, 09:31 AM

You can add dictionary from stardict manually.

**Colorado Steve** · 07-21-2008, 09:58 AM

yes!

First time I opened this on my 2G iPhone it crashed and sent me back to the launcher. After a full-reboot, I'm able to search for words but no definition is displayed on the screen. Any ideas?

For the post below.

Got to the settings in the WeDict and choose "WordNet (r) 2.0"

I found the directory where you can add dictionaries. /private/var/mobile/Applications/9A5...
You'll find WeDict in there. That's where you dump additional dictionaries, I think. Lastly, remember to set the permissions correctly (755 works)

ROFL glad to see I'm not the only one that felt that way

I downloaded some dictionaries, untar them, and got 3 files for each (.dict.dz, .idx and .ifo). However, just dropping them in the /private/var/mobile/Applications/9A5... /WeDict folder does not work.

I also noticed, the default chinese dictionary has different extentions in that folder (.dict, .idx and .idxc).

We are mising something...

**iphoneguy2007** · 07-22-2008, 10:16 PM

Sorry guys, my wedict just crapped out today after I rebooted. I surmise it had something to do with the signature / app certification process, but I'm not entirely sure.

**tracsim** · 07-23-2008, 08:35 PM

So I've got a few dictionaries downloaded on weDict on 1.1.4. Do you think I can copy the .dict, .idx and .idxc files to my computer and then SSH them over once I upgrade and jailbreak 2.0? Anyone know if those are the only 3 files needed to add a dictionary to weDict?

**iphoneguy2007** · 07-23-2008, 10:50 PM

Tracsim, that is exactly what I tried to do. It worked and wedict recognized the dictionaries and i was able to search for words and read the definitions, but after a reboot, the app would only crash ...

**DaveiPhone** · 07-23-2008, 11:29 PM

Installing the dictionaries via SSH is working fine for me, with no problems after reboot.

**smackjack** · 07-24-2008, 05:19 AM

I miss importing your own dictionaries.. maybe you could do that over wifi in a future release?

**iphoneguy2007** · 07-24-2008, 06:19 PM

DaveiPhone, do you install the 3 files (per dictionary) into the main app folder? or somewhere else? Thanks

**DaveiPhone** · 07-24-2008, 09:06 PM

Yes iphoneguy2007, just into the main app folder works for me.

**tsr** · 07-25-2008, 10:01 AM
