venture160 Posted July 3, 2006 at 08:44 AM Report Posted July 3, 2006 at 08:44 AM I am looking for a smartphone to act as my phone/email/chinese dictionary. I really don't like the Palm OS, and I don't like windows (mac user) is there anything comparable to PlecoDict on the symbian OS, I want to buy the nokia e61. Thanks Quote
Konglong Posted July 3, 2006 at 10:02 AM Report Posted July 3, 2006 at 10:02 AM Try MDICT. Works great for me. Quote
venture160 Posted July 3, 2006 at 01:07 PM Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 at 01:07 PM what phone are you using it on? there doesn't seem to be a version for the symbian OS Quote
gougou Posted February 4, 2008 at 04:09 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 04:09 AM So, I finally decided that a good camera to me was more important than Plecodict and got the N82 (running on S60). However, I would still like to have some dictionary on it; any recommendations? Quote
cdn_in_bj Posted February 4, 2008 at 07:45 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 07:45 AM Most of the China/HK retail-sold Nokias come with a simple CE-EC dictionary, and all of the grey-market Nokias I've seen have it as well. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the actual executable on my phone (although I was able to find the word database), otherwise I'd offer to help you to install it. Why don't you visit a place that sells grey market phones and ask if they can install it you? Maybe these guys can help you: http://www.yymobile.com.cn/ Quote
roddy Posted February 4, 2008 at 07:51 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 07:51 AM A search for 金山词霸 symbian / 词典 symbian turns up some download pages. Won't link directly as I don't have a Symbian phone and I can't check if any of them work. Or what about this? Quote
gougou Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:24 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:24 AM Most of the China/HK retail-sold Nokias come with a simple CE-EC dictionaryYeah, I had that one, but only in traditional characters.The Oxford one roddy linked too looks like what I'm looking for, though for some reason they don't seem to offer it on the HK page. I also had a look at 金山, but I think I read a bad user review or something, so I stopped looking for it. Or did I just forget? Quote
cdn_in_bj Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:30 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:30 AM Yeah, I had that one, but only in traditional characters. If that's the case then I can give you the simplified word file, I'm pretty sure that it will work. I've swapped traditional/simplified word files between Nokia phones before (phones purchased in HK come with the traditional dictionary), though there was a minor UI issue due to the different screen resolutions. But your N82 uses the standard 320x240 display, so there shouldn't be any problems. Anyways, if it doesn't work, you can always swap back to the original word file. ============================================================ I just uploaded the simplified word list here: http://download.yousendit.com/F6A231D24A8CFFEC Steps for installing: 1) Access the memory card using either a memory card reader or by connecting your phone to your PC using "mass storage mode" (note: PC Suite mode won't work for this). 2) Make a backup copy of the "private101f9cfe" directory on the memory card, in case you decide to revert the changes. 3) Extract the contents (including the directory) of the zip file given in the link above into the "private" directory on the memory card. 4) Open the dictionary and it should be in simplified characters now. 5) Show your gratitude by buying me pizza and beer. That's it! Quote
gougou Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:47 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:47 AM If that's the case then I can give you the simplified word fileThat would work - as long as I can find the dictionary on their webpage! After I found out that it was traditional, I deleted it. Including the installer, to be sure... Will check when I get home, I think it was available somewhere. Quote
cdn_in_bj Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:50 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 08:50 AM Will check when I get home, I think it was available somewhere. If you do find it, I wouldn't mind knowing where as well. Quote
gougou Posted February 4, 2008 at 09:29 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 09:29 AM Fine, then I don't wait till I get home... Hong Kong is here. I also found a simplified one on the Chinese page, is that the one you got? Quote

How did you ever find that?? I'm pretty sure it's what I have - I'll give it a try later tonight as I'm heading out for dinner now. Quote

imron Posted February 4, 2008 at 11:30 AM Report Posted February 4, 2008 at 11:30 AM Haha, and what a coincidence, it would seem Kro's Nest, isn't closed after all Quote
master_iceman Posted March 3, 2010 at 10:56 AM Report Posted March 3, 2010 at 10:56 AM Hey folks I would like to re-activate this question since the new generation of symbian phones would also allow to work with handwriting-recognition on touchscreens (Sony-Ericsson Satio/Idou) Does anyone know if there is any programm comparable to Pleco is available by now? thank you for your help Quote
