weDict Dictionary on iPhone 2.0.1
I’ve been successfully added the langdao-chinese-to-english dictionary manually to my iphone 2.0.1. and it works as expected. Here’s the screenshots,fyi.
The how-to? well, reader Daniel has put it in this comment. All same as before, except the target folder where the .dict and .idx files should be copied to, has been changed from ‘/var/root/Library/weDict/‘ to the new ‘/private/var/mobile/Applications/5AD48CB3-xxx/WeDict.app‘.
This post is just a proof based on my own testing.
Of couse, i assume you can use WinSCP without any question. If i’m wrong, you may get some info from that old post. Leave your comment if it’s nor working or anything is wrong.
Update(Aug,23,2008): Confirmed: this trick works on my updated 2.0.2 as well.
Update(Sep,26,2008): Confirmed: Ray is right: ‘it will only works until the phone is turned off. Once the phone is turn off and then back on, WeDict will not run.’

Hello,
Its very important that you mentioned the FOLDERS issue. I downloaded the WeDict from the app store and has it on my phone but when I want to make the SSH I do not see any WeDict folder. Now you mention another folder
private/var/mobile/Applications/5AD48CB3-xxx/WeDict.app
but I also do not see such a folder as well…. under private/var/root I have only Library and Media… I think I m doing something wrong or looking at the wrong place.
Do you have any tip?
Thx alot,

OK so now I actually found out that there are other folders exist
and I found the right folder. But it does not seem to work.
I am using Leopard and unzip the files and changed their names. maybe I did the unzip too many times then needed? Do u unzip them only on windows or also on leopard?
Thx

I wish i had a Leopard to try everything with the phone
Anyway, what you are supposed to copy to the phone is two files, one is xxx.dict and the other is xxx.idx.
I have a post here talking about how to get them on Windows XP. Hopefully it can help.
Good luck!

I have done this but it will only works until the phone is turned off. Once the phone is turn off and then back on, WeDict will not run. I am running 2.0.1 FW
Any ideas?

I googled and get this.And i haven’t tried it myself so far. And “As a reminder, this is illegal!“, so, Ray, to try or not, up to you.
