  • 0

ColorDict is an Android app which accesses dictionaries in the stardict format. These dictionaries can be downloaded as a ‘DictData’ application: the dictionary copies itself on the SD card, after which the DictData app can be deleted.

This seems a good way the way to go about developing a dictionary app but I cannot find any information regarding either the status of ColorDict (open source?) or the DictData format. Can I build a DictData file and upload it to the Android market?

Any information welcome, as well as pointers to other options for dictionary integration (I would prefer to reuse a dictionary application and export/distribute the dictionary only).

    you should look into GoldenDict instead — it’s a better Android app, runs on Windows and Linux systems too (there seems to be work going on to port it to Mac), it is open-source, and it can work with many different dictionary formats, including stardict and babylon etc. I’ve written tonnes of dictionaries that all look and work beautifully in GoldenDict.
