Index of Custom Dictionaries for Kobo eReader - Page 9

AlPe · 07-07-2015, 02:24 AM

@invention13 : PeterT is correct.

=== === ===

To avoid confusion for the future, I ask to name the custom dictionaries with the actual language ISO codes, e.g.:

dicthtml-bg.zip (Bulgarian monolingual)
dicthtml-it-fr.zip (Italian -> French bilingual)

Moreover, this way, we do not "imply" that the custom dictionary should replace exactly an official one, say dicthtml-de.zip, as the end user might want to replace a different official one, say dicthml-nl.zip.

Thanks. I just figured that out ( I'm a bit new to this ). This is definitely something for kobo to fix. Once I installed it, it worked reasonably well.

A question on custom dictionary: I installed the swedish-english dictionary and it seemed to work pretty well. When I went to use the reader today, it behaved as if the dictionary wasn't there. I went into the settings->languages->dictionarys menu and tried to load it and it opened up the wireless to search for an update. I'm sort of curious what happened to the dictionary - has this happened to anyone else?

Did you do a sync in between? The sync checks if any dictionaries need to be downloaded. I assume a check is done comparing what is on the device with what the server has and the version from the server is downloaded if they don't match. In this case, it definitely won't match.

invention13 · 07-07-2015, 11:22 PM

Re sync: not knowingly. I am going to load the dictionary again and just make sure I don't sync it. I might have done it from the reader - I never use the pc software.

davidfor · 07-07-2015, 11:28 PM

It might have done the daily auto sync. There is an option in the settings to turn this off. Sorry, I can't remember exactly where it is. Maybe the WiFi settings.

invention13 · 07-08-2015, 02:06 PM

I turned off the auto sync.
I put the dictionary back and still can't install it. I get this 'dictionary download pending - sync to install'.
It looks like I'll have to sync it, only to blow it away and replace it.

Did you get it to work? I can't even see any installed dictionaries when my h20 is connected to my PC, the only file in the kobo\dict folder is dicthtml.zip, and I do have the german dictionary installed. But I want to replace that with the Swedish?

Edit, I found that all my dictionaries were stored on the SD-card so now it works! :-)

-add dictionary in your Kobo like English-French (don't download).
-copy the file "dicthtml-en-vi_mab en de.zip" to .kobo\dict, and rename it to "dicthtml-en-fr.zip".

AlPe · 09-18-2015, 09:38 AM

Modified the first post: the English->German dictionary was incorrectly listed as "German->English".

Simeonov · 09-29-2015, 07:01 AM

"dicthtml-bg.zip (Bulgarian monolingual)"

Hi,
From where can I download the dictionary - bulgarian?
Thanks in advance.

AlPe · 09-29-2015, 07:10 AM

If you refer to my 07-07-2015 06:24 AM post above, it was just an example to illustrate the usage of ISO language codes.

I have never seen a Bulgarian dictionary, sorry.

oren64 · 09-29-2015, 08:31 AM

Hi AlPe

I make English-Hebrew dictionary whit penelope3.py file but the last letter not showing.
it happen if there is n.(noun) or adj. before the translation.

AlPe · 09-29-2015, 08:53 AM

Hi,

I assume no error/warning is printed on the console when you run penelope3.py .

Try outputting to CSV (`--output-csv` instead of `--output-kobo`), open the file with a text editor, and see if the last letter is missing.

If so, it is a parsing problem in penelope. If possible, please email me the input dictionary, I will have a look.

If not, I guess it is a problem of the Kobo firmware.
