riggi91:
hey guys, my friend and i did some research about having wikipedia on rockbox and have found out that it is possable . i was also wondering if having a dictionary on your ipod was possable using rockbox. i currently have a 5 gen iPod video. if this is possable please comment on how its done, if you know links that would help out please post, thanks again- riggi91  :D

markshelfer:
a dictionary without a directory or search feature would be really easy. all it is is a text file, and would only take up about a few hundred megs. but adding a letter by letter directory would take some minimal knowledge of html so that you could create links within the text file to the letter you selected. not very hard, but a long and somewhat tedious task.

lachlan:
There is already a semi functional Dictionary Plugin in Rockbox. Look around in the wiki for the plugin page, I think its called 'PluginDict'.

Peter200lx:
information on the Dictionary plug in is avalable here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxDictionary
at the bottom of the page there is a compiled version that you can download and use.

Hello riggi91 [and everyone else],

in your first post, you say that putting Wikipedia on an iriver is possible? Would you mind telling me where to get Wikipedia in iriverable format? I couldn't find it on wikipedia.de - I could find the file for ipod and since the iriver has a text viewer by default, I thought just downloading the *.txt would be enough, but there's none - the thing is called *.epodia??
Thanks!
Regards,

whatchamacallit

P.S.: I tried the ebook-version now. That seems right as the iriver can display ebooks, but the download will take a while yet to finish. Anyway, that one is from May 2006. Not exactly up-to-date (well, more so than Brockhaus, but...). I still haven't found out how to post on wikipedia to ask for a newer version.

P.P.S.: Oh... I just read markshelfer's post once more and I realized the *.txt file I'm just downloading probably won't do the trick - a dictionary without a search feature really isn't up to anything great, just a long list I'm not going to use because it would take forever to browse to whatever I happen to be wanting to know at a given moment...
