That looks like you are missing the required character sets. On Ubuntu, they would be contained in language-pack-[language] but it has been a year or two since I last used Fedora so I'll leave it up to you to figure out the Fedora / Red Hat equivalent.

So you've got an English-Chinese dictionary (including phonetics of English). If that's not what you want then you've loaded the wrong dictionary. AFAIK Stardict is English<-->Chinese, Japanese, Korean. There are no errors, this is a correct dictionary but for the wrong language (for you). What makes you think that Stardict has an Urdu dictionary?
cheers,
jdk

I am a newbie, know nothing, so I did as was told:

May be I miss-understood this. Anyhow, please tell me what should I do now. Thanks in advance.

I checked the stardict webpage (you can do that too) and I could find no urdu dictionary there. I repeat: Your stardict is functioning correctly but you have a Chinese dictionary loaded. Newbie or not that should be clear enough. Did the reference to Stardict that you read say that it had an Urdu dictionary?
cheers,
jdk

I already said in my first post that I want an English to English OR English to Urdu dictionary. So if we are not finding an English to Urdu dictionary, the second and the only choice we are left with is an English to English dictionary.

Please feel the pain of having to switch to Vista just for looking down a WORD

Does the Collaborative International Dictionary of English suit you?
You get it here:
http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dict...w.dict.org.php
It's the first one on the list.

As it seems there's nothing on the stardict site to satisfy your needs, here's a nice long list for you to go through: http://www.google.co.uk/search?clien...utf-8&oe=utf-8
