First I tried several Java dictionaries but they were quite basic ones. Then found this cool dictionary viewer called MS Dict Viewer. Can’t remember from where exactly I installed it, but it can be downloaded from its <a href="http://mobisystems.com">official site</a>, I think.</p> <p>After installing the MSDict Viewer you can download many dictionaries with it. There is great selection, including Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries. Dictionaries thus downloaded are valid only for a 7 day period. You need to enter a serial key to register them from. This <a href="http://www.ziddu.com/download/7119669/keygens.rar.html" target="_blank">rar file</a> has 5 keygens bundled for various dictionaries. They’re EXE files, and I executed them in a Windows XP virtual box. Once you select the dictionary and enter phone’s IMEI number, it shows the serial key. Works like magic!</p> <p>However it’s possible that the keygen include malware so better to run them in a virtual machine even if your OS is Windows.</p> <p>P.S. Uploaded the keygens to mediafire, just in case: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z0mz16689grh5gh" target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?z0mz16689grh5gh</a></p> https://blog.thameera.com/dictionary-for-mobile-phone/feed/ 4 32 https://blog.thameera.com/babiloo-offline-dictionary-for-linux/ https://blog.thameera.com/babiloo-offline-dictionary-for-linux/#comments thameera Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:39:11 +0000 Uncategorized dictionary linux http://thameera.wordpress.com/?p=27 UPDATE: I ditched Babiloo for Artha Dictionary.

It’s a simple app which is available in the Ubuntu Software Centre as well. Several free dictionaries can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.huzheng.org/stardict-iso/stardict-dic/babylon/en/" target="_blank">here</a> and installed in Babiloo. So far so good.</p> <p>P.S. And I’m beginning to love the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (which can be downloaded from the above link).</p> <p>EDIT: The above link to download dictionaries doesn’t seem to work anymore.
