By using that database, I generated an Ottoman Turkish dictionary, you can see the attachment. I hope ottoman characters appear well on all devices. By the way, I also wrote a C# application that retrieve data from MSSQL database and generate XML file (which contains <idx:..> kind of tags) to be used in generating Kindle dictionaries. If someone doesn't like python, he can try this C# application. Currently, the application works only on my Ottoman dictionary case. I provide the source code so that you can adapt it to any project. The very needed tutorial, syntax and examples for writing a dictionary is here and at Kindle Publishing Guidelines.pdf. Last edited by sevenkul; 03-11-2013 at 05:27 AM. |

Build dict from a simple text file.
Hi.
I have a text file with a list of all words allowed in french Scrabble (see attached file). I followed your trick to generate output files for building the dictionary but it failed. Maybe because the text file dose not contain any tab. It's a file with one word per line. no defenition. Please I need hepl. What can I do to convert it into a valid text file and cread a mobipocket compotible dictionary for my Nokia N97 ? Thank you in advance ! |

Tab2Opf requires a tab delimited word-list and Python 2.7.

Just try to downgrade Python version: 2.7 should work. |

You're right, this script requires Python 2.7. Since the OP has the wrong version installed, I compiled a dictionary for him.

phuu! I can't get this thing compiled! I've spent hours trying to compile a Korean-English dictionary for the kindle paperwhite.. I'm getting wired feedback from the tab2opf thing:
" feff 1 1 " and the mobi file doesn't work when trying a look-up... Could someone have a look at this, maybe even compile it for me please? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwz...it?usp=sharing I would be so thankful for this! Regards, bubblepop |

tab2opf not issuing idx:key properly with Korean-English
Can someone help me compile a Korean-English dictionary for the Paperwhite?
I've successfully compiled a Japanese-German Dictionary - Japanisch-Deutsch Wörterbuch (Wadoku - year unkown: http://ge.tt/6lld6jj1?c ) But when trying with Korean the idx:key is all messed up. Without those keys the Paperwhite can't do a proper look-up it seems.. Here is a tab separated Korean-English dictionary: http://ge.tt/6lld6jj1/v/0?c Can someone help me get those idx:key repaired?

I think you will need custom korean character mapping. It might help if you had a unicode-encoded tab-separated dictionary.

Since the dictionary does work with Mobipocket Reader, Amazon most likely introduced a Koran dictionary bug in the Paperwhite firmware. Please find attached the source files and the converted dictionary, which does not work with Kindles. (It displays the same random word no matter which word you look up.) Thanks to the code2000.ttf font, Kindles and Kindle apps support pretty much any alphabet included in the Unicode 5.2 standard standard. There's no character mapping required unless the source files are non-Unicode files. |
