Hi

I am not sure exactly what the aim of your question is, but if you 
simply wish to find a good dictionary to use on your phone I would 
suggest installing the Dictionary scope by Chris Wayne, availble through 
the Ubuntu Store. I use it a lot and have been very happy with it! Come 
to think of it, I haven't given him any feedback yet. I will do so 
forthwith! :D
