From their webpage:
Quote:
The databases are available in TEI XML. From there we convert to different dictionary lookup application formats, eg. we support

* dictd, a server implementation of the DICT protocol * Evolutionary Dictioanry, an application for Windows CE * zbedic, an application for the Sharp Zaurus PDA

More platforms are planned to be supported
So it's an initiative that doesn't support much formats, nor does it have a structurally easily converted format:
Code:
 <entry>
      <form>
        <orth>nervsystem</orth>
      </form>
      <gramGrp>
        <pos>n</pos>
      </gramGrp>
      <sense>
        <cit type="trans" xml:lang="fi">
          <quote>hermosto</quote>
        </cit>
        <sense>
          <def>system av nervceller i djur</def>
        </sense>
      </sense>
    </entry>
You would have to write a converter function. I recommend using a dictionary of which you know both languages, so that you can decided what's what. E.g. I have no idea what this stands for:
Code:
<quote>hermosto</quote>
As you can't get the script to run on your own, I guess you reached the end of that initiative.
