Turkish Dictionary

Majorix · 06-24-2013, 05:42 PM

I hate Kobo's built-in en->en dictionary, after so much fun with Kindle's dictionary. Turkish being my mother tongue, I thought I would look for an en->tr translation dictionary that I can use.

So far I have looked into a certain tool called "penelope" and did not have much luck with it. It crashes at a certain point. When I check the working folder I find a (not complete?) dictionary about 1/6th of the input file. I have tried placing it in .kobo/dict and the reader doesn't even see it.

I have looked at dictionaries Kobo sells and there is no Turkish dictionary there either.

Has anybody successfully created an English -> Turkish translation dictionary? Any links maybe? Thanks!

PS: I have a Kobo Mini if this info is necessary...

You might want to check the Direct Links to Kobo Dictionaries thread in the Kobo Developer's Corner. One use (arrrow245) mentions using Alpe's Penelope code to convert a StarDict English/Turkish dictionary successfully.

Yeah I have seen that thread and the post too. That's why I have tried Penelop albeit unsuccessfully. Any other ideas?
