What is this.
MStarDict is a simple dictionary based on code of StarDict written in C++ using Gtk2. It allows you to use stardict compatible dictionaries and reference books, of which many can be found.
The original announce thread from 2010 is on https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44979
How do i use it
For usage, you can grab any stardict dictionary and place them in MyDocs/mstardict/. There are many sources to grab dictionaries from, buZz setup a mirror thats linked below for a big pile of free dictionaries.
Then launch the program, make sure to enable the dictionary you just copied and type a query.
There's also espeak (and a different one thats just >20000 .wav files??) TTS for reading out the entrynames.

Devuan has 'qstardict', 'goldendict' and 'sdcv' in its repos which all support the same dictionary files as input. Also there is 'distconv' to convert em back and forth.
