If there are any Polish users here or just anyone interested in a Polish-English dictionary then they'll be happy to learn that it's possible to turn PWN Oxford Polish-English dictionaries into a Mobipocket one.

You need 2 Python scripts: pwn2tabfile.py and tab2opf.py. You can find the first one @ http://my.opera.com/mziab/blog/2008/10/31/pwn2dict.

Pwn2tabfile supports 2004, 2006 and 2007 editions of the PWN Oxford dictionary. It preserves all formatting so it's really cool. :-)

After you use tab2opf.py (remember to use "-utf" option) you need to generate a .mobi file out of the .opf. Use either mobigen or Mobipocket Creator to do this.

If you want to convert Collin's Polish-English, English-Polish dictionary see the tool compiled by rhari79 (thanks again!) here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45068.
