I have a computer skills so I will try to do my best.

Thanks.

Do you know any script(python, etc.) for converting huge html files to other formats?

I usually use the Python bs4 library for HTML parsing.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with that, because scripts and commands will vary depending on the exact input and output formats. However, BS4 is well documented. For example:

soup.get_text()

will strip all tags from an HTML file.

If you're not a Python programmer, you could also use a text editor with regular expressions support, e.g. Notepad++, to remove unwanted tags or convert them to a different format.

It says

You can convert any babylon .bgl file to StarDict format by the PyGlossary tool, just visit: http://pyglossary.sourceforge.net

I have downloaded and tried this dictionary to see if it works well. I found that this dictionary is very simple and basic for Indonesian-English. Do you have the most updated one? It's 2019 now. Thank you very much.

The last time thomass visited Mobileread was a year ago. And yes, it's been 8 years since that dictionary was posted. The advice on how to create your own dictionary is still valid so you may want to apply it. Or if your time is worth more, you might purchase an Indonesian/English dictionary from Amazon. Check Kindle Default Dictionaries Indonesian for example.

When ever I search for Croatian-English dictionaries, I end up trying lots unknown and complicated (at least for me) software that has to run with commands etc. This is the first EN-HR dictionary that works out of the box. I would very happy with HR-EN too.
