Does anybody know of any pop up dictionaries which are able to export looked up words to SRS? Examples of this include Perapera for Chinese or Japanese.

A forum search revealed stardict, which I am not able to install due to missing manuals.
Does anybody have any other suggestions? Especially for European languages?

Thanks for any help

Have you tried Goldendict (http://goldendict.org/)? You don't mention the platform that
you're trying to install, but Stardict is no longer in active development and Goldendict
is being actively developed. It should be an easier install. It supports more dictionary
formats,
too.

Do you mean pop-up dictionary on an e-reader or on a computer?

On a Kindle you simply have to highlight the dictionary definition like any other text and then you can import the text file into SRS.

AFAIK, only the current 1.5.x beta versions of GoldenDict allow you to export the (monolingual) search history, but not the definitions.
Theoretically, it might be possible to write an AutoIt macro that copies the definition for each entry to a text file, but I don't know whether GoldenDict sub-windows can be selected by AutoIt.

But you'll first need to somehow extract the highlighted text from My Clippings.txt or the Kindle Cloud, don't you?

BTW, Kindle Paperwhites with the latest firmware come with a vocabulary builder app, that records all words that a user looks up in an unencrypted sqlite 3 database in \system\vocabulary\. (vocab.db contains the search term, the uninflected word form, the sentence in which it occurs, but not the dictionary definition.)
