Bug Description

Stardict is nice tool, but needs dictionaries for proper work. One of dictionaries has already made it to debian:
http://packages.debian.org/stardict-english-czech
and others (both GPL'd and "free to use") are available at stardicts home page:
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php

Now users have to download and place dictionaries manually, installing and updating them with package manager would be much better.

stardict dictionaries are removed from sf.net, thus the above url is invalid now.
