+ new mDictionary consists of three modules:
+
+ mdictionary - core application
+ homescreen-widget - widget for desktop
+ mdictionaryplugins - engines (for example: "mdictionary-stardict-plugin")
+
+ All of them are located in different packages. Program needs to work only installation "mDictionary" package. Other packages only extends the functionality.
+
+ old mDictionary consists of three modules:
+
+ mdictionary - core application
+ mdictionarygui - the graphical user interface
+ mdictionaryplugins - engines
+
+ All of them are placed in one binary package - mDictionary.
+
+ 1. Download the binary package from our download section + 2. Open the file manager and double click on downloaded file. + 3. Ignore all these warnings. +

+ Mdictionary requires libbz2 library to be able to work. To install libbz library repository with libbz package should be added to application catalogue and âRed pill modeâ should be activated. + To add the repository with libbz2 package you can click on INSTALL or perform following steps to add repository manually: +
+ In order to install our application click INSTALL or make the following steps:
+
+ Our application allows for using various parsing engines, so that different dictionary formats could be used. We have included a XDXF and StarDict format parsing engine to provide an example and to make it usable. +
+ ++ Dictionaries in mDictionary are files containing the words database. For now we have only included a package containing a XDXF and StarDict format parser. You are welcome to contribute new parsing engines and we hope you will find our API documentation useful in development process. In order to add new dictionaries you'll have to download files containing the words database and make sure you have the appropriate parsing engine installed. As far as the XDXF and StarDict formats are concerned, they can be found under this address: + http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down +
++ Place the dictionary file wherever you wish, however it has to be reachable by the application. In order to register new file in our dictionary, choose the Load Dictionary option from the application menu. To make XDXF dictionaries to work faster, you can optimize them (a special dialog will lead you through this procces). StarDict dictionaries do not require optimalization (there is no difference if you enable optimizing or not). If you would like to exclude a dictionary from searching, use the Select Dictionary option from the menu and check/uncheck a box next to your desired file. +
++ In order to unregister dictionary from mDictionary, use the Remove Dictionary option. This will not erase the file however, you will have to do it manually if you want to remove it from your device. +
++ Uninstalling mDictionary can be performed using the Application Manager. Enter the Show Installed Applications item and uninstall mdictionary package. +
