Install Stardict to use dictionary.

Link hướng dẫn bằng tiếng Việt

This is the best dictionary I have seen.

Install:

Step 1: go to the website StarDdict and download main program stardict-2.4.8.tar.bz2 and install it.
unzip type:
tar -xjvf stardict-2.4.8.tar.bz2
cd stardict-2.4.8
./configure
make
(sudo) make install // sudo when you use Ubuntu.
when run these commands (./configure .. ) you often receive the error and this is my experience: error: No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found
and this is my solution : I go to google.com and type No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found Ubuntu (because I use Ubuntu) the result set was displayed and I went to those link. I see "sudo apt-get install libgnomeui-dev" so I typed it to the command line. typed ./configure, make, sudo make install again and I was success !

step 2 - run stardict : from command line type: stardict and receive the message : no dictionary file found ;) so we must find and download dictionary file ;)

step 3 - download and put dictionary file to the right place.
go to http://www.vnlinux.org/stardict/ and download the dictionary file you like ;)
unzip them into “~/.stardict/dic” in this computer is /home/nhakhtn/.stardict/dic and this is the hidden folder
if you don't have the folder with this named you can make it.
mkdir /home/nhakhtn/.stardict
mkdir /home/nhakhtn/.stardict/dic
and then mv anhviet1.0.zip /home/nhakhtn/stardict/dic
unzip tar -...... ......
start stardict and use it ;) this is the good dictionary ;)
Thanks all. (references from longld.blogspot.com, vnlinux.org/sitemoi, vozforums.com ....)
