The tool I heard the most about "back in the day" (years ago) when I previously played with this stuff was Penelope. When I looked that up, I found that the project had been retired and Pyglossary was the tool recommended by the Penelope developer. From what I understand, the Penelope code was incorporated into Pyglossary. |
Everything is easier
Use pyglossary (latest version) to convert JMdict / EDICT (xml if I'm not mistaken) to .df file. And then use dictgen. This should help you.
