+Dictionary data
+Most dictionary data comes from http://wiktionary.org. If you want
+to add or fix an entry, please do it there.
+Important notes
+
+- If QuickDic seems to crash when opening a dictionary
+(especially on Sony Ericcson devices), it's probably a problem
+loading the embedded font. Try opening QuickDic's preferences and
+changing the font to "System default."

+dictionary. This is a great way to quickly lookup words that are
+part of definitions (especially if they're in a language that's
+tough to type in!)
+- Add the current row to the wordList.txt file for later
+study.
+- Copy the current row to the clipboard.
+- Have the word spoken via the phone's text-to-speech (if the language is supported).
