weDict

[Cody Overcash]

This nifty app is a multilingual dictionary that supports startdict dictionaries. Also many dictionaries are pre packaged and ready to install via installer (thanks STE).

Available via installer and <a href="http://guohongtao.googlepages.com/weDict.zip" target="_blank">their site .</a> <a href="http://modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4336&amp;highlight=dictionary" target="_blank">More info </a>

the new version is a lot better, but they are loading the installer with dictionaries, i mean how many do we actually need lol

HELP!!!!

This new version broke on my iPhone - I can't access the old dictionaries now - get "not Found" on words.

Uninstalled it all & tried to reinstall - same result.

Using the Installer app from Nullriver - installed as part of iFuntastic unshackle - that all went fine - been going to town on apps & all was fine til this happened - really LOVE weDict though.

Can anyone direct me to doc on installer & a process to clean this all up? It seems the space remaining stays the same after unstalling so that makes me believe they don't clean out apps very well so that a reinstall would work properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

When i ran the update my dictionaries didnt work either. I reset my phone then uninstalled the old dictionaries through in the installer app, and re-downloaded now they work fine

Thanks for that info - you're the lucky one. so the new functionality with Pronounce works for you?

I'm still getting "Not Found!" after doing what you recommend as well.

I've been in communication with the STE packaging guy who says that he had the same problems with it as me & has been in contact with hte developers - trying to get it resolved or revert back to previous release of weDict.

I'll update here when we know more.

I wish there were a way to only install additional sources once the related application is installed.

So my Installer.app would NOT list all of the dictionaries, only the actual Dictionary app, once I install that...THEN install the sources!

Anybody agree with me on this!?

I agree to a point. Installer is quite loaded but. But one of the reasons I downloaded the Dictionary is because I could see the sources and some looked interesting.

New v0.4.1 is on installer.app. It fixed the stupid "not found" problem, and should work fine now.

I'm trying to add other dictionaries from Stardict. However, everytime I get to the step where I have to rename .dz to .gz and then extract, I get an error message, saying I am unable to extract because the file is corrupted. This happens for all dictionaries I download from the Stardict website. I'm on a PC, using WinRAR. Can anyone help me?

EDIT: I figured it out. I downloaded WinZip instead. Works like a charm!

[Jesuz]

The fonts on the new version mess up and I can't read it

[808flip]

im using ibrickr and dont want to install installer onto my phone (it slows things down), how can i install this with the zip file? i thought i could just rename it to .plx but that doesnt seem to work..... any ideas? could this be done through iphonebrowser or something of the sort? any work arounds? thanks

[darngooddesign]

is there any way to browse the dictionaries, or search specific ones?

[metelskiy]

hey i guys, i jailbroke my phone two days ago and i had the Dictionary and books in my installer. I installed one dictionary and didn't like so uninstalled. Now i wanted to install new one and when i open installer i can't find Dictionaries and Books thing there.. how do i get it? i need dictionary on my phone

[gtsgtsgts]

I thought the new version didn't read the old databases, but the truth is that you can choose the dbases, tap the "i" button and you'll see.
See ya.

[shizumi]

Very handy when i don't know some words, there a speaker thing next to the i, is that pronoucer? what dictionary can use that?

[mondynet]

yeah what is that speaker icon for?

[Eurisko]

yeah what is that speaker icon for?

For a bit of background; This was created by a Japanese author, who also made a vocabulary library of about 21,000 words with the proper English pronunciation presumably when learning English. If you do a thread search, there's a link to the audio library, which is about 200MB. Once loaded into your iPhone, and you click on the speaker icon, it will pronounce the word you're looking up (if its in the library).

A gift for those who are as lazy as I am usually... I'm brazenly appropriating the following paragraphs from elsewhere on the internet...

Just go here to download the sound files:

http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...irror=easynews

Unzip and copy the WyabdcRealPeopleTTS folder to the following directory on your iphone:
/var/root/Library/weDict

Unfortunately the file is huge (over 200MB), so I wouldn't recommend loading it unless you have enough space on your iphone.

I tried the link above, it naviagted me to the sourcefurge site only to see an error message stating the link is outdated..any other options?
