I was using Stardict for a long time in openSUSE 11.1, but it could not work after I upgraded a number of packages. I always see the screen that be stuck in the Loading of the phenomenon even installed openSUSE 11.2 this problem still can't be solved. Fortunately, there is a specific Qt package for KDE environment can be used normally, it called QStarDict. It's a translation package like Stardict. We can use it to replace Stardict and there is nothing better than it. We can use dictionary files of Stardict in it, and even the interface is also more integrated with your KDE. I had also been insisted on using Stardict and trying to downgrade some package to confirm whether it can work properly, but still failed. There is no solution to fix Stardict problem in openSUSE, so I try to find out other way to translate. Finally, I find it QStarDict!
If you want to use a translation tool, please install QStarDict right now. It will be able to replace Stardict in your openSUSE 11.2 machine...
