This seems a fake dictionary (or isn't a dictionary at all). Few KBs it too small a size... Moreover the conversion doesn't work

When I dig down to the .dict file, it appears to be a dictionary. Just one with very few entries that looks as if it has been truncated severely since it claims to match the spanish/english headwords collection.

I'm looking for any spanish-portuguese dictionary and that was the only one I found so far

Thank you

One source you might want to check is Free Dictionaries on Sourceforge. The Spanish-Portuguese dictionary comes in two versions with the older 0.1.1 version having a human readable file while the 0.2.1 version uses the SLoB dictionary interface format (Sorted List of Blobs -- who thinks up these things?). Looking at the 0.1.1 version, it has, maybe, 450 entries. I've attached the 0.1.1 file to this message if anyone wants to try massaging it into a usable form.

Elrond_v1

It is a raw and basic version. It lacks of IPA phonetics and inflections in several elements.

Elrond_v6

Hi, I improved the english-italian multidictionary. Added:

- inflections

- more definitions and entries to the first dictionary

Elrond_v7

I improved the previous version adding the label of the specific dictionary at the beginning of each entry.
The text format of the fourth dictionary has been corrected.
Minor tweaks have been done. You can get more info searching "about-this-dictionary". Here is Elrond_v7: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12h...7x5UhsHItxag3-

If anyone want to use one or more single elements of Elrond_v7, they are available here:

Enjoy

Manwë_v3

I found: 1) a good mobi version of "Wikt + CIDE" without repetitions or problems
and 2) A big and great en-en dictionary. Both of them report even the ancient and rare words. I added them inflections and IPA phonetics.

Here is the link:

Manwë_v4b

Here is the updated version. In the previous version the CIDE part of the dictionary was cut out of the editing and remained without inflections and phonetics.
Now I could separate each of the three parts and treat them separately.
You will find more infos searching inside it the entry "about-this-dictionary" (deeply sorry for my poor grammar )

https://drive.google.com/open?id=13P...ayTw9gYMOyJxck

PS: I'm searching huge en-en databases (similar to google translate, www.wordreference.com, or www.dictionary.com ) for an ultimate version.
If you have them, you can contact me on mobileread or via email ioses_@libero.com (English->Italian databases are, of course, welcome too).


Manwë_v5

The previous version lacked of several special characters (Œ, œ, Æ, æ, Å, ö, Ü, etc.) that were replaced in the raw database with "?".
This drawback made several rare words unsearchable or bad-shown in the definitions.

Dictionaries questing, I bumped in a flawless database, that of course I widened and replaced.

You can download here Manwë_v5

PS: The third dictionary is labeled at the beginning of each definition. Searching about-this-dictionary you can get more infos

Open the dictionary_en-it.zip file and you'll find the dicthtml-en-it.zip that you must copy in the .kobo / dict folder of your ereader

Hello @ Owl_ listen, I have a good Italian dictionary in mobi, I do not know how to convert it for mobi, I tried Plato and other programs, but I have not been able. Would you be able to create it from my file?

Unfortunately a dictionary's conversion from mobi to kobo format it's a long-term (and often intricate) task. Try to wait

Thanks anyway, it will mean I'll wait. The thing that I can not understand is that the basic kobo (at least as regards the Italian) has a really bad dictionary, it does not find 2 definitions on 3. Arrival from years of kindle, the kobo is a great reader and is a pity that those who produce it do not try to enrich the quality to compete with the kindle in an appropriate manner.
