If I understand correctly, dictionaries are out of scope of DictionaryForMIDs project - I mean any of DictionaryForMIDs project members does not manage what is inside dictionaries. All the dictionaries you use are from outside (like Internet Dictionary Project,  http://www.freedict.org/ ,etc), all that matters is how to get the translations of words from them. As each of outside dictionary is in different format (right?), you have convert them to the format, that dictionaryForMids application could understand. I guess the converted dictionaries are called dictionaryinputfiles. Right?

Hi!

Gert inspired me to get involved into DictionaryForMIDs project, so here I am. I'll try to work on some scripts to help generate dictionaries that would work with the last version of DictionaryForMIDs. If anyone has thoughts/suggestions about this, please post here.

I tried everything again - and it worked!!! I guess that was my mistake somewhere :)
The only problem is irritating confirmations of accessing my file system. But I guess the problem will be solved soon. Thank you.

I do exactly as you pictured, but it is not working. I even do not see "English > German" label (I would expect to see "English" > "Spanish" as I use English-Spanish dictionary folder you have sent me by mail). Looks like I do something wrong. I'll try some other dictionaries and see if this a problem of this particular English-Spanish dictionary, or is it with DictionaryForMIDs itself(either .jar, or my settings). I'll post my findings here.

with DST dictionary, the problem again is size - my phone does not have enough memory for it, dictionary folder is 3MB in size, and I can manage to get max 2.5MB  :(
What is this "inputdictionaryfile"? I would be very interested to get it, if it is no trouble for you.

OK, i'll try it later. Dictionary I am interested in is Eng-Spa, but I do not see it available to download (any version >= 2.5.0). Where do I find it? Is there any possibility to migrate(convert) it to version 2.5.0 by myself?

Thank you  ;)
I successfully managed to load the 122KB version to my phone. I followed instructions at http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/faqLoadableDictionaries.html. I used dictionary from DictionaryForMIDs_2.4.0_EngSpa_freedict. When I entered the path where dictionary folder was residing (it was "file:///C:/Galerija"), and reloaded application in my phone, I received a confirmation warning if I wanted to let the program access the path "C:/Galerija/dictionary", so I had chosen "Yes". Looks like everything is good, except when I try to translate a word, I get error message "Thrown java.lang.NullPointerException / null". Did it successfully execute at your phone/emulator? Or is it my phone problem?

Nope, still get "file size is too big"...  >:(

Thank you for the test version. However, jar you have provided is bigger than 128KB (to be exact it is 333KB), and I couldn't install it on my phone (it has jar limit 128KB). The last stable "empty" version (don't remember which exactly) was less than 128KB, so I managed to install it successfully, but it didn't have loadable dictionary support.

Hi!

In FAQ section: http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/faq.html#FAQ_3_1
it is said:
"Starting with version 3.1.0 DictionaryForMIDs supports 'Loadable Dictionaries', that is dictionaries can be stored as a normal files on the cell phone / PDA". However, I couldn't find this version to be downloadable anywhere.
I wanted to try all those steps listed in http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/faqLoadableDictionaries.html, and check if it is working on my phone (Nokia 6103, which has 128KB jar limit  >:().
