Pocketbook dictionary format revisted - Page 12

Markismus · 09-02-2022, 06:27 PM

@shamanNS I've uploaded the requested "Oxford Dictionary of English 2ndEd 2010" to pCloud.

The mobi-dictionary is now in color and with all images converted to characters. This means that it is really a _lot_ smaller (50MB->12MB), which hopefully improves the lookup speed.

Dear Markismus,

Please help me to convert the Romanian dictionaries into .dic files
I tried to convert the dictionaries on my own, but truly is a headache. I did not manage.

I tried to upload the dictionaries into this message, but it does not work. I can send the files by mail, if you want

Thank you

@dediu1 I'll give it a try. Could you upload the files to a fileserver (, e.g. Dropbox, pCloud, ) and post a link?

@dediu1 prc-files are new to me. I remember them to be a PocketPalm format. Mobireader opens them, so maybe it's a mobi-format? However, even with mobi-files it's hit-and-miss because it's a free format. So don't get your hopes up.

I don't think the Stardict files in the directories will be a problem.

EDIT: The prc-files are converted online to mobi-files. They look the same in mobireader, so that's one step.

Thank you so much. At least the Stardic files if they are converted would be a great help.

I cross my fingers

Thanks again

@dediu1 I don't have language files for Romanian, so I'll have to use Hungarian or Polish. If you want you can make a dedicated Romanian folder with the files keyboard.txt, collates.txt and morphems.txt inside.

The current collection of language folder is added as an attachement.

dediu1 · 10-04-2022, 10:55 AM

Dear Markismus,

I truly don't know how to create such file. I tried my best to convert the file, but it was a headache, as I do not know much about software and other IT stuff.

If you want to me create such a file, please, help me with step by step (in a language that I can understand simply) what I should do.

Thanks

Searching for collates, I found an old post from Komar with instructions.

Markismus · 10-04-2022, 04:23 PM

The 5 Stardict-dictionaries are uploaded to pCloud
The two mobi-dictionaries are a new breed.

Dear Markismus,

Thank you so much for your help. I will do my best to create the files for the dictionaries (collates, keyboard and morphems).

Thanks again

dediu1 · 10-05-2022, 02:09 AM

Dear Markismus,

Here are the texts for the dictionaries files. With the morphems I could not understand a lot what I have to do.

Here's the files for Romanian. The "morphemes" file is much more complicated.

That is literally two dictionaries mixed in one. I've converted it to xdxf, but it looks quite raw.

Samat89,
