I was curious about your question and did a Google search for stardict, and
as you say, SourceForge has declared it abandoned, HOWEVER they include a
link to a successor called GoldenDict which is available for ALL recent
versions of Ubuntu (available immediately without having to compile it
yourself). The description makes it sound very much like what you are
looking for.

Just open the Software Center and search for "dictionary" or "goldendict"

If you are having difficulty using the Software Center or another package
manager to install the (already available) software, maybe there's a
problem with your system.
