Dictionary and NeoReader

ottischwenk · 04-30-2020, 03:23 PM

How do the dictionaries work in NeoReader?
What languages can you install there?
Is there a way to connect eg Golden Dict?
I would need language combinations with German

Based on this report https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ssue-585591017 neoreader is using stardict dictionaries, stored in /sdcard/dicts.

It seems that neoreader is not using common android intents to do dict lookups. You can verify this following steps 1 and 2 from the following answer: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-602112761

The way android apps do intercommunication is via a set of intents, like SEARCH and SEND. Each dict app register itself as able to resolve one or more of these intents, so it is available on the app picker.

You put the dictionaries in root/dicts folder.
Neoreader can only read stardict dictionaries.

If you install goldendict, you put the dictionaries in root/Goldendict.
goldendict can use stardict and bgl.
you can call goldendict via the nav ball.

Yes, but not from NeoReader.
Thanks for pointing to stardict.

For some reason this huzheng.org website (that boox suggests) does not load for me

.

I have found some alternatives, so it might be useful:

https://tuxor1337.frama.io/firedict/dictionaries.html (also includes non-translation pairs, like Portuguese-Portuguese, Français-Français)
