and then follow the instruction by @geek1011 (AKA pgaskin) here: https://github.com/pgaskin/dictutil/issues/14 I don't know if there is a maximum file size, I installed two custom dictionaries and they works well. Last edited by ps67; 02-25-2021 at 01:45 PM. |

Dictutil is a set of tools which can compile, decompile, unpack, pack, install, and do other things with Kobo dictionaries. The main advantage of using dictutil to install dictionaries is that it'll handle differences between firmware versions for you. |

This was a huge pain in the ass. Thank you for trying to help me. It turns out that dicthtml.zip had become corrupted, likely because of special characters which cannot be compressed (or with which some zip programs have trouble compressing).
Providing the below for people in case it is helpful to them. I know that Penelope has been abandoned, so if there's a better way to do this using your software, it would be great if you could share. Cheers! ---------------------- I fixed this by recreating dicthtml.zip using Penelope. However, Penelope will not install under windows because it requires the marisa-trie dependency which for some reason won't install either. Welcome to Python. Ultimately, I used my *nix system to get Penelope working, and as I think about this, that's what I had to do last time as well. If you're able to get python working under Windows, more power to you, but this was a mess and using *nix was faster for me, although that doesn't really help people who aren't tech savvy enough to have such a system handy. The large file size doesn't seem to be a problem, but it does cause the Forma to chug for half a tick when you go to define a word. Not that big of a deal in my opinion, but it's worth noting. Re the dictionary itself: the latest OED edition is the second. The third is underway according to the wiki; so, when you see a 1989 publication date, don't freak out. If you're here because you're looking for the OED, something something copyright and try google-fu. Instructions: 1. get Penelope 2. get stardict file 3. depending upon where you happen across your stardict file, you will need to put it into a regular zip; so extract it and then zip it (literally .zip, not .7z or .tar etc); Penelope is expecting a .zip 3. Code:
penelope -i oed1filename,oed2filename -j stardict -o oed.zip -p kobo -f en -t en 4. rename dicthtml.zip to dicthtml-oed.zip this is desirable because without renaming the file the current Kobo FW will not remember that you've selected a different dictionary causing you to keep getting the default when you highlight a word. By renaming the file, it will persist for each lookup 5. make sure you're on the current firmware 6. connect your Kobo to your PC 7. drag dicthtml-oed.zip onto your kobo, placing it in .kobo\custom-dict 8. eject and unplug your kobo 9. go lookup a word 10. click the english dropdown and then select dicthtml-oed 11. Enjoy. |
