I am running Windows 7 x64 and whatever the compiled binaries are, they worked for me.

I am on Windows 7 64 bit too. I cannot remember what platform I targeted when I built Marisa but I am pretty sure it was x86 (32 bit). I am away from home right now so cannot check. But please feel free to use my Marisa build in Penelope.

I can confirm that it runs on 32 bit Windows.

Today I became aware that it is again possible to add custom dictionaries to the installed dictionaries (and not only to replace existing Kobo dictionaries of the same name). I tried dicthtml-fr-fr.zip and dicthtml-de-de.zip. After restarting the reader, both were in the list and selectable, but not searchable. See an example here. After adding for each new dictionary a line in the Dictionary table of the database, both dictionary became searchable.
This seems however not to work with dictionaries that translate from (and possibly to) Japanese. Be aware, that the database is not much forgiving. It happened to me that I wrote de-de instead of -de-de into the first column. The reader refused the whole database and asked me to initialize the reader via wifi or usb. The same happened when I tried to write English - Farsi in the name field instead of Deutsch - Deutsch. Last edited by tshering; 10-25-2013 at 05:48 PM. |

Hi
I moved to a linux box to use Penelope to convert my stardicts(had to build Marisa thing). I converted using the command line with the --output-kobo option. It looked like P created the compressed dicts no problem. Then I copied them to Kobo (.kobo/dict). But they do nto show up in the dict list. And the language I am interested in is notlisted in the language pull down. The files that I have have idx,dict.dz,ifo, syn extensions What do I do at this point? I am using Glo with 3.1.0 Could it be firmware vs dict format issue? thanks Last edited by exachillus; 01-10-2014 at 12:10 AM. |

I seem to recall you can't add an arbitrary language; if you want a new language you have to use on of the pre-defined language names.

I'm not sure if this is covered already, but I added extra dictionaries translating to/from dutch based on the Babylon dictionaries (http://www.babylon.com/free-dictionaries/).
I work on linux and had to install stardict-tools and of course marisa and penelope (as described often enough). The recipe is as follows: stardict-editor #open stardict-editor #An editor will be opened where you need to browse and select you .BGL file(Babylon Dictionary) #In the bottom of the opened application you select BGL file and click on Build button #It will create a file with an extension .babylon. #Next browse and select this file #In the bottom of the opened application you select Babylon file and click on Build button #That's it. It will create 3 files (.dict.dz, .idx, .ifo) in the current directory python ~/penelope/penelope.py -p <idx name without extension> -f <from> -t <to> --output-kobo #Now the dicthtml-<from>-<to>.zip is created #N.B. <from> and <to> are the 2-letter language abbreviations #Next copy the zip file to .kobo/dict on your Kobo and translation is there. #Unfortunately only lookup, not via search. |
