A Free Mobipocket Dictionary ? Yes maybe, but help needed


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok let me explain, I managed to get a full dictionary on mobipocket for free using the pocket pc version of encarta dictionary (free on Ms website).

Here's the whole explanation : http://www.geocities.com/dwall/dictionary.html

I had to convert it from .lit to .prc with Mobipocket Publisher and it works but there's a practical problem.

The file does not include a search engine and mobipocket reader for smartphone does not provide this option. So to find a particular definition you must go threw every pages between for example "Hispanicize" and "Hooded" (preestablished links) and that makes quite a lot of pages (80,000 entries in the dictionary, about 19000 pages for 5800K).

I searched a way to include a search box in the dictionary (html programming seems possible) but i'm not a programer and i couln'd make it.

So i ask for help on the forum, i'm sure i'm not the only one interested in free ditionaries on their smartphones (there's an Englsih complete one and bilingual for Spanish, Italian, German and French).

I hope somebody will be able to find a way
