Dictionary ENG-GER with data by dict.cc

Hello,

a few years ago I bought a Pocketbook Touch HD 3 e-book reader and found it had a lousy standard dictionary. As a non-native speaker, I enjoy reading English books, so I occasionally need a translation of a word. The standard dictionaries on this device only provide basic vocabulary and therefore do not help me any further. Because of this problem, I looked around a little and only found expensive dictionaries that weren't big enough for my taste.
Therefore I wrote a small program to parse the data from dict.cc into the xdxf format, ready for the converter (which I got from this forum, thanks) to load these into the binary dic format by pocketbook. If you are wondering: My script only picks the translation of the words, no explanations or grammatical informations. I think, that another languages won't work with my tool - it has to be customized for it.
