A little update on the project:

Last week I tried to work with a first database (Wiktionary), but it is horrible to process in a good way and the number of German to Japanese translations is quite limited (<7000 translations).

Then I wrote to the guys from the DokuWa project. And they will send me the raw data from their Database. As soon as I will get it, I will compile an ebook. I will see how the Kindle software handles the German Language: Verb conjugation is quite a bit more complicated than in Japanese. So, I will have to test if the Kindle can handle this out of the box, or if I have to give it more guidance to find all the words.
