Hi everyone,
My husband and I have created eReaderDicts, a collection of free bilingual dictionaries for Kobo and Kindle.
The project started because I enjoy reading in other languages and struggled to find suitable dictionaries for my Kindle. My husband began making them for me, and we decided to share them with other readers.
We currently offer 15 languages paired with English, with separate dictionaries for both translation directions:
Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish.
Downloads and installation guides:
https://ereaderdicts.com
The Kobo dictionaries are provided as ZIP files for the .kobo/custom-dict folder. Kindle versions are available as .mobi files. All downloads are free, with no registration required.
The dictionaries combine publicly available dictionary material with some translations generated using language models. They also include additional word forms to help with lookups. We’re continuing to improve them, so corrections and feedback are welcome.
We’d be glad to hear how they work on your Kobo, particularly whether word lookup and dictionary selection behave as expected.
I hope other readers find them useful!
Susanna
