This is why I asked about existing dictionaries.
There is a Perl script that is supposed to help with this, but once you install the prerequisites (Stardict binaries and the Pocketbook dictionary convertor with configuration files), it's not clear you need it for anything.
The Pocketbook converter requires input in XDXF (dictionary exchange format), and only works on Windows.
I'm mostly a Mac user, and there are no notes on setting things up for macOS (only Linux and Windows).
I do have a new Windows system and am going to see if I can get conversion working with just StarDict binaries and a clone of GitHub repo with the PocketBook binary and configuration files for each language. I have copy of the Ru-En StarDict dictionary that KOReader will download, which seems pretty good.
Apart from Russian-English, PB comes with translation dictionaries that I would expect to use, so this is a one-off task for me.
