Hi, All
I just installed stardict successfully.

Here is what I did.

clicked and installed stardict first http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/

Then I downloaded and installed dictionaries: dictionaries can be found at http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php. I selected Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English and xdict-ce-gb dictionary(a Chinese to English dictionary).
For each dictionary, you need to unzip the dictionary file to /usr/share/stardict/dic manually.
To pronounce the English word, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/stardict/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS.tar.bz2?download needs installing. I downloaded and uncompressed it under /media/mmc2.
Then I started stardict.
You may need to configure stardict where to search sound file by refine: preference->sound->RealPeopleTTS search path

That is all.

-jason

 Hi, all
 Is there an English dictionary Application for OS2800? It will be great
 if the dictionary can pronounce the word.
    

Stardict( http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/stardict/ ) seems
to support this. Try visiting the original download page -
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/download.php
They have the description there:

"WyabdcRealPeopleTTS package make StarDict pronounce those English
words. It is just many .wav files.
In Linux, you can extract(tar -xjvf) the tarball at "/usr/share/". "

I suggest you to try and then let us know if it works for maemo.
