As we know, DictionaryForMIDs is Free Multi-languages dictionary for mobile phone/ PDA and is now able to have a Multi-languages User Interface !
We are working to add that new feature "Multi-languages User interface" to the DictionaryForMIDs. This work is still not completed, because we can not translate every language we want to add to User interface by ourselves.
So WE NEED A SUPPORT for this translation from people over the World.
Below is a list of DictionaryForMIDs User interface texts on English:

At the top of the file DictionaryForMIDs.languages there is a description how to fill in this file. In the section #UIDisplayTextItems of DictionaryForMIDs.languages there is the definition of all texts that need to be translated, including some explanations.
Please send your translation back to Gert and Quynh (see contact). Please do ask if you have any questions !
