@Markismus quite an old thread, sorry to bump, was wondering how hard/feasible would it be to convert a .dict dictionary to .dic? I've tried with pyglossary with no luck on my PB inkpad X, would appreciate any guidance!

@lplazas No worries. I think I did a dict-conversion a while back. Isn’t it described somewhere in this thread? In think Penelope had a dedicated conversion option for that format. After that you can generate a Stardict-file. Either binary (set of at least 3 files) or
xml-format.

If the xml-format isn’t converted easily with convert.exe and the 3 files in the language folder, you’ll have to use my script to clean it up and then try again.

If you fail, you can send a link to the file and I’ll look at it eventually.
