Hi Pushparaj, Download any of the StarDict Dictionaries from http://stardict.org or just google for stardict dictionaries. Get the tarballs, copy and extract them in the stardict folder at /usr/share/stardict/dic You can use the command cp <dictionary name> /usr/share/stardict/dic to copy and tar xvf <dictionary tarball> to extract.
