Very interesting thread. I'd like to build my own dictionaries too, but with commercial dictionaries as sources. Back when I was in the kindle world, I bought some mobipocket dictionaries that I'd love to be able to use on the Kobo. Anyone tried something like that ? Also in French we have something very annoying for dictionaries, and it's indeed not handled by the French Larousse dictionary found in the Kobo : s', l', m', t' that can precedes a verb or a noun. For example, abris -》l'abris. If I put l'abris as a variant of abris, as far as I understood, it won't work (as it didn't with go/went). Maybe a file l'.html would work (as shown in the o'clock example), but it would contain a lot if words, basically all the nouns and verbs starting with a vowel.
