There are many dictionaries on Java or other mobile platform, for example, MDict on PPC and BBdict on BlackBerry. All of them are excellent applications, But their libraries are limit by file size. However, if you have a WAP-enabled mobile phone, you can look up a word via free online dictionaries with WAP version. Here is a list of them:

Dictionary.com is one the most popular free online dictionary and its WAP version also seems to be quite nice. It offers two options: “look up” and “translator”. “look up” gives the definition of a word of English. “Translator” can translate different languages between English. The problem is that the WAP version of dictionary.com is written in WML and has some problem on some handsets/mobile browsers.

The two WAP dictionaries below are only providing Chinese-English translation
