Hi everyone,

here is a script that allows everyone to enrich the Japanese dictionary shipped with Kobo firmwares with English/German/??? translations from eDict (and/or Japanese3).

Detailed explanations can be found here: http://www.preining.info/blog/softwa...nary-enhancer/

The most current version is available via github here: Github project kobo-ja-dict-enhance, and the direct link to the script: enhance-dictionary.pl

Supported dictionaries

All dictionaries in edict2 format. Currently details are provided for English Edict2 from the JMdict/EDICT Project, and German from the Wadoku project. Furthermore, data from the Japanese3 dictionary application on iOS can be used.

ese3 dictionaries, and prefer Edict2 (which is the default). When not passing in any --dicts option, the program searches for both available dictionaries, which are found in this case.
