An Open Source Translation Dictionary for Windows Mobile

Over at Devlicio.us I'm blogging about my experiences developing an application for my Samsung Blackjack:

It's a Translation Dictionary with a Flashcard feature that supports multiple dictionaries, with the ability to create and more. Currently I'm packaging an English-French dictionary with over 16,000 Entries, and an English-Spanish dictionary with over 10,000. There's over 1,000 Flashcards of common words in each Dictionary. Each term is hyperlinked when it appears in a definition. It's absolutely free and open source.

Here's a screenshot:

I'm going to blog about and release the dictionary loader with more dictionaries as soon as I can get some time.

Downloading and Installation

Could you by any chance let me know where you got the dictionary files from? Are they public domain somewhere or something? Thanks :)
