Only to inspect how inflections are coded in the Smirnitsky dictionary source, and what makes them searchable (compared to other dictionaries that don't have inflections at all).

The format is well described in Amazon publishing guidelines, which you quoted. Doesn't it work for you?

To be frank I have not tried. I wanted to see it first from a working dictionary. From your comments and experience I now have no doubt the documented statements are the way to go. I'm still a noob in dictionary matters, and can't even get my own dictionary to PopUp searches correctly. Hey, where would the fun if it was so obvious

EDIT: Bug corrected. PopUps do work now!

Why do you want to unpack it?

Interestingly, now that my dictionary has inflections, mobiunpack fails on it, as expected.

The tags are lengthy to code by hand and probably meant to be programmatically generated. Well, that concludes my quest: there are no magical builtin rules in amazon code, only tediously adding infl tags will bring inflections support.

Thank you again for your helpful posts.

Here is an idea. Code a Python script for the Nadsat grammar (with inflection rules particular to the language). Sprinkle with genders, declensions, conjugations and the like. Parse the vocabulary with it and autogen the infl tags... Nah, I prefer cheating.

A bit of doc + A bit of copy-paste + A bit of intelligence = A bucket of fun.

PoP, did you ever find a tool for decompiling dictionary indexes?

The reason I ask is that the Japanese dictionary supplied with the Paperwhite has a neat trick where the index entry shown is not the headword but a formatted version of the headword and I am trying to figure out how they did this. (I.e. the index entry for '二' shows as '[二] に' - that second bit is the phonetic pronunciation)

You can leave idx:orth empty and specify headword and inflections as attributes.
The following definition will display [二] に if you look up 二 or に.

Code:
<html>
<body>

<idx:entry>
	<idx:orth value="二">
		<idx:infl><idx:iform value="に"/></idx:infl>
	</idx:orth>
	[二] に<br />
	Two
</idx:entry>

</body>
</html>

Hello,
I'm desperately looking for a Russian-English dictionary on Kindle with a pop-up feature. The best I've managed to find so far is the Ru-En Mega dictionary, but it does not support declensions nor conjugations which makes looking up half of the words a nightmare.

Your dictionary looks like a better candidate, but unfortunately all the links in this thread are either dead or pointing to other dictionaries (including the one above). Is there a place where I could download it from? Alternatively is it possible to build it from another source, and if so which one and how?

I would be eternally grateful, this dictionary thing is the last obstacle between me and Russian literature
