PSPDictionary allows you to translate a word or a phrase from six language: English, Italiano, French, Deutsce, Spanish and Latin.

It’s possible to translate remaining offline. In this case,  the program supports  the translations freely distributed by Wikctionary ( http://wiktionary.org ). There are about 6000 translations for each language.

Besides, it’s possible to translate a word/phrase connecting your PSP online, choosing an online translation service. This can be: langtolang (http://www.langtolang.com), Yahoo! Babel Fish (http://www.babelfish.yahoo.com) or Google Translate (http://www.translate.google.com).

So, download PSPDictionary from http://www.gefa.altervista.org
Then, extract the downloaded package, and copy the ‘python’ folder in the root of your memory stick, and the ‘PSPDictionary vX.X.X’ folder in the path X:\PSP\GAME
Congratulations, you have successfully installed PSPDictionary.
