Try in a Java emulator (need Java - java.sun.com).
Use your J2ME phone's web browser to connect to here: DictionaryForMIDs_EpoAra_Lernu.jad.
Or download DictionaryForMIDs_EpoAra_Lernu.jad and DictionaryForMIDs_EpoAra_Lernu.jar to your computer and transfer the program by USB cable to your phone.
Android phoned: Install DictionaryForMIDs for the
Android Market (search for 'Esperanto').
Then download DictionaryForMIDs_EpoAra_Lernu.jar
to your phone and open with DictionaryForMIDs (choose 'Vortaro' and 'De dosiero').
Or simply use DictionaryForMIDs to download the dictionaries from the distribution site
(http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/dict.html).
If you do not have necessary fonts on your phone, then you may use the bitmap fonts supplied with the dictionary package. Go to the Menu and select Settings -> Use Bitmap Font
The bitmap fonts were generated by the "BitmapFontGenerator" available from DictionaryforMIDs.
The bitmap fonts were taken from the "Arial Unicode MS" font. The
"Font Properties Extension"
tool available from Microsoft shows this font has "editable embedding allowed":
"Fonts may be embedded in documents, but must only be installed temporarily on
the remote system"
This release of the dictionary does not contain an Arabic IME (Input Method Editor). An IME allows you to type in Arabic. Work is underway to add custom IMEs to DictionaryforMIDs. So for this release, unless you add a 3rd party Arabic IME program, you will only be able to search from Esperanto to Arabic. You will not be able to search from Arabic to Esperanto.
We could use some help with this IME. If you have a phone that can input Arabic, or you have a program that adds Arabic support to your phone, then we'd be grateful if you could give us the key mappings for the Arabic letters. Please supply the basic Arabic mapping (think of phones before predictive text was available).
