Hello, I was looking for a Persian dictionary and sadly Amazon has no official persian dictionary, so I had to make a custom one.

I used one of Babylon's bgl files which included about 200 thousand entries. Using a script from github, I was able to convert it to html or txt, then to a mobi file. Moved it to: /documents/dictionaries . But it was identified as a seprate file and not a dictionary.

I used mobigenerator to produce a prc file, sadly Amazon doesn't support prc anymore, so I tried converting prc to mobi both on PC and online converters, it was unsuccessful (due to high number of entries I suppose)

I don't know what to do. Why I couldn't use the orginal mobi as a dictionary at first place? I need help
