QuickDic is a offline multi-lingual dictionary for Android platform

QuickDic parses data from wiktionary.org (http://wiktionary.org) and Beolingus (http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/) to generate dictionary files that can be used offline on Android devices.  I made QuickDic for myself because I wanted to read more easily in German, and later to learn Italian, and it's been fun to expand it to other languages.
You can download the current signed APK (http://dictionary.quickdic-dictionary.googlecode.com/git/Dictionary_signed.apk) directly, or find it  QuickDic on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hughes.android.dictionary)!
QuickDic currently has built-in dictionaries for many language pairs (some much more complete than others, your mileage may vary!).  I also recently added single-language dictionaries for English, German, Italian, and French, but these are likely to be lower quality.
Here are some of the languages QuickDic has dictionaries for:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Ancient Greek, Arabic, Armenian, Azeri, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Breton, Bulgarian, Burmese, Burmese, Cantonese, Catalan, Chinese|Mandarin, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Gaelic, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Lao, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Maori, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene|Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tamil, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish, Zulu
This file (http://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/source/browse/res/raw/dictionary_info.txt?repo=dictionary) lists all the built-in dictionaries that you can download and use with QuickDic. Helping outQuickDic is open source and I'd love to have help!  One thing that would be really great is if you can translate the strings into other languages.
