weDict , a dictionary app for iphone, is a multilingual dictionary. It supports stardict's dictionaries (http://stardict.sf.net). There are lots of free dictionaries for a great number of languages.

download dictionaries:
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php

The dictionaries need to be installed to /private/var/root/Library/weDict

After downloading a dictionary, extract. Then rename *.dict.dz to *.dict.gz, extract.

Copy *.dict and *.idx　to /private/var/root/Library/weDict

Done!

Have merrianwebster.dict and merrianwebster.idx installed in /private/var/root/Library/weDict. The application starts but all I get is a white screen before it crashes.

thanks for sharing. what we need now is a nice looking icon for this apps

Sorry for my mistake. The icon file is in the application bundle, but the name is Icon.png which should be icon.png. For the ugly icon, just rename Icon.png to icon.png.

Thank you.

Try to set permissions to 755.
