A StarDict dictionary comprises at least three files: .ifo, .idx and .dict.dz. You can modify .ifo file with a text editor to rename your dictionary title. To install a StarDict dictionary, firstly you need to copy three StarDict files (.ifo, .idx, .dict.dz) from a StarDict dictionary into a specified directory and then zip that directory into a single .zip file. It's worth noting that the name of your dictionay files and the directory that contains these files should contain no spaces or special characters but you replace spaces with hyphens or underscores instead. Also, keep your filenames to a reasonable length and be sure they are under 22 characters. Secondly, upload the .zip file to your iCloud or Google Drive or Dropbox. Finally, from the DictSharp Dictionary select Settings/Manage Dictionaries and then tap the ( + ) button on the navigation bar. You will be guided thru steps to open your .zip file from your documents. After the installation is complete, you can use your newly added dictionary.

Version 1.6 - Added two new buttons "Back" and "Forward" to the dictionary definition browser, in order to allow users to be able to navigate recently visited words back and forward. DictSharp English Dictionary always remembers all the words that have been recently viewed into the historical bookmarks, also known as Recents.
