When you upgrade your Nokia 5800 firmware to v20.0.0.12, Dictionary is a free application that comes with it. This powerful yet simple-to-use application contains an extensive English word set that literally puts an entire dictionary inside your Nokia 5800.
Upon touching the nicely done icon, the application asks you if you want to download more languages. In choosing "Yes", your Nokia internet browser is launched and you are taken to the website where you can download 42 different language packs such as Chinese, Croatian, French, German and Korean. The Dictionary application also serves as a language translator which is perfect when you are in need of translating during trip abroad. Just choose your source language (for example - "English) and your target language (for example - "Italian") and it will show the definition of the word and the translation. The application lets you install up to two (2) language packs. You can download and install the files directly using the Nokia Internet browser or via PC using the Nokia PC Suite.
Using this free Nokia 5800 app is very simple. Touch the text box and your text input interface of choice will appear. Type in the word and the application will search for it in its database. If you just type in a few letters, the Dictionary app will show all the words with the same letter sequence. For example, if you type it "crea", the words creak, creakiness and cream. Just scroll down using the bar at the right of the screen to browse through. This is great especially if you have forgotten the word but know the first few letters.
Once you have found your word, just choose it and the Dictionary will show the word, what kind it is (noun, verb, etc.), the definition and even how it is used in a sentence. Furthermore, should there be any other definitions or ways the word is used, the application will also display it. If you are using it as a translator, the application will display the word in the corresponding language. For example, the word "Love" is "Amore" in Italian.
Not too sure how the word is pronounced? The free Nokia 5800 Application Dictionary lets you hear it with the "Listen" function. Just choose Option, then Listen and you will hear a robotic voice that is inherit in the Nokia 5800 system.
For those who have problems reading small fonts, you can increase the font size with a touch of a button.
The application keeps a history log of previous searched words just in case you want to recall old searched words.
This power and free Nokia 5800 application is a must for everyone. It will not only help you find definitions of the words but also usher you to know foreign words. Get this free Nokia 5800 application when you upgrade your Nokia 5800 firmware to v20.0.0.12.

So ho do I proceed? I installed e.g. English-Russian dictionary, but I cannot enter words in russian, input methods seem to be limited to latin alphabet.
Com’on! This app is rubbish! You cannot switch between source ‘n target dictionaries with a single command (must painfully select both ones) and the dictionaries are less than basic. I wonder if there is an alternative that works better than this crap.
