At minimum use gluggy's excellent Java Mobi Metadata Editor
to set your book metadata to "zu"

nice one.

on a touch.

obviously I speak english (and my books are english) but it detected fine.

PoP · 02-12-2013, 07:10 PM

Hehehe, preparing a "zu" book (for twobob) showed that I had not tested enough, PopUp search didn't work. Oops, I should have tested that better!

At least, opening the dictionary itself works :

Well, I will try to correct in v0.2.

I added it and set the metadata of the book to Zulu but it isn't detecting right. When I look up a word it shows it using the correct dictionary but it says no definition found. I think I'm doing something wrong.
I just added the mobi to documents, should I drop it into dictionaries? Also do I only put the mobi in or the other files that come with it?

Cross post, see above. You are right. *I* am doing something wrong. Hang on, only push the .mobi.

grant.ben08 · 02-12-2013, 07:27 PM

Didn't see the above post until after I posted, sorry.
I want to thank you for this by the way. Once I started looking into this I saw that to make one was going to be somewhat beyond my expertise I just sort of gave up on it. I just printed of my own list of the words and taped it inside my cover.
So again, this is awesome and thank you.

twobob · 02-12-2013, 07:38 PM

heh! will test it in a bit

PoP · 02-13-2013, 03:01 PM

Updated the first post with v0.2. Now the PopUp works

Was caused by stupidly misplacing my intro pages in the html.

Now I am thinking of v0.3, better formatting, more frills, a toc maybe, not introducing more bugs...

Hope it works for you. Enjoy.

EDIT: ToC done

twobob · 02-13-2013, 03:26 PM

YAY. thanks for the update. will checkify

You are welcome. Ahh, the wisdom of a (so effective) printed list. But as developers say "where is the fun". The pleasure was all mine!

grant.ben08 · 02-14-2013, 08:58 PM

Just loaded it on there and tested it and it is working GREAT!
I agree that the printed list is no where near as fun as having a PoP dictionary

it was just simply getting me by.

PoP · 02-15-2013, 05:00 PM

Done

ToC added. Grab the update from the first post.

twobob · 02-15-2013, 10:28 PM

Excellent. thanks

PoP · 02-16-2013, 11:21 AM

Done

Inflections (for a single word) now work! And I added some "styles" to the html.

To try it, find a test.mobi ebook in the zip.
