Thankyou for your kind and rapid reply. You are correct that Goldendict is not in itself a file format.
I do not know what the complete list of files formats Stardict will read and if all the dictionary files in my goldendict colection need to be converted to stardict files in order for koreader and kobo w/o koreader to read them.

Now, github is very technical and I am lost in the technical info it provides.

I would need a "hand-hold" that is, a step by step walk through on converting a goldendict readable file to a stardict readable file to be used on kobo and in kobo koreader.

I do have linux as well as windows.
1. Go to your dictionaries. Look for their extension.
2. Go to https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary#supported-formats. Check that the extension has a green tick on "read" column.
3. Install the program using https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary#...ion-on-windows
4. Run the program. Select your dict file as input.
5. As output select "stardict(ifo)" for koreader and "kobo" for kobo.

I guess the hardest part is to install the application but it is well explained.

If that's too much you're better using https://github.com/BoboTiG/ebook-reader-dict, which contains wikidictionary files in both stardict and kobo formats.
