    You can try it out! It's in English however the help file is in Chinese. Definitions are in the form of .mdx dictionary files. You can download some from the developers website at Octopus Studio, I've tried out the Webster's dictionary. Wikipedia would be really interesting with this program!
    Regards, ubr

    Update - Have now also installed the Chinese to English dictionary - very useful, and am downloading a wikipedia.mdx file from Megaupload, hope it works! - Haven't tried it yet so download at own risk

    I just installed MDict and found it very usefull BUT there is definitely a lack of good "Insert your language here"-to-Chinese dictionaries that offer both characters and pinyin. Next to that I'm missing the comfort of writing characters with my hand. Hope Meizu will implement that until FW 1.0.

    I'm using a Chinese-to-German dictionary that's really good... Too bad it doesn't have German-to-Chinese. For anything else check their website at: Octopus Studio

    Like said before there's Wikipedia and a couple of other languages.

    At the developers site you can download converter of dictionaries - from StarDict, KDict and some other programs. I try convert dictionaries from StarDict-it's very easy and are many free dictionaries for it.

    Hi Everyone,

    nice2know_u - You're welcome!

    tilai - I'm using the one from the Octopus Studio webpage (link in my original post) - CC-CEDict - it's a .zip file with two dictionaries, one Chinese (characters) to English and one Chinese (using pinyin) to English.

    Here I have some pictures using the Wiki.mdx - It's really good, definately worth downloading! Also a picture of all the dictionaries I'm using.

    Regards
