Pocketbook dictionary format revisted - Page 13

@Samat89 Nice!
Would you have more language configuration files? Especially, Greek would improve some dictionaries.
Maybe I should add the txt-files to the github repository, so people can find them easily.

EDIT: The repository LanguageFilesPocketbookConverter is here.

@dediu1 I've compared the language configuration files and used Sarmat89's files to reconstruct the dictionaries. They're uploaded to pCloud. Could you test whether there are noticeable differences?

I've found an el keyboardfile in the depths of my data grave, in case you are interested.

@nhedgehog Nice!

To me it looks ok. Thanks again for your help

@dediu1 The mobi-files are also converted to Pocketbook's dic-format and uploaded here.

I got the New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd edition .prc file from the kindle folder on android

[QUOTE=Markismus;4234158]The only important part for you is that your dictionary is pegged as encrypted by KindleUnpack. So it can't unpack it. It'll first have to be unencrypted.

I haven't decrypted Kindle-files before. But if I would haphazard a guess, you could try to do that using a Calibre plugin. Just search this forum for relevant threads.

Hi again Markismus, I wonder if you can help me to convert this epub dictionary to a dic dictionary. I decripted the diccionary file and converted it to a decripted epub file. It is a French dictionary not too big but very good for learners, it worth it. I am sorry but I can not go further on my own. Thankyou

@mandelgado58 Diccionario Esencial Français Espagnol is reconstructed and uploaded here. It was a badly converted ePub, so there is a repetitive string inflexiones in the definitions. In the ePub there is even a missing image in front of it. So maybe you shouldn't let Calibre convert it and put the unencrypted, unconverted dictionary in a dropbox link. (Calibre unencrypts the documents when they are first added, no consecutive conversion is needed.

)

Hello guys! Is there any way to convert the attached below mobi file into dic? Can't do that myself.

Would be really grateful for such favour!

Eva_19 · 12-07-2022, 03:04 AM

Hello! Would you be ablie to convert that file into dic? Would really appreciate that! :-)

Markismus · 12-07-2022, 04:48 AM

@Eva_19 I've uploaded a first attempt here. Although the StarDict format for Koreader is a good conversion, the dic-format is dependent on a correct configuration files. Without these files, you have limited functionality.
If you want to work at it, you could make those needed for Korean. I've created a Github repository for a lot of languages as examples. Earlier in this thread links to creation of these files is discussed.
Looking at the first article:

Code:

<ar>
<head><k>ㄱ</k></head><def><div style="margin: 0 0 0 1em;"><b> ㄱ </b> ㄱ the first letter of the Korean alphabet.ㆍ ∼자 자 an L square.ㆍ ∼자 집 an L-shaped house.ㆍ ∼ㄴ순으로 {arrange names} in Korean alphabetical order.ㆍ 그는 낫 놓고 ∼자도 모른다 He does not know A from B. / He is utterly illiterate. </div></def>
</ar>

The symbols can be recognized as Korean, so you might want to create a keyboard.txt file to at least be able to manually input the symbols for lookup. The vowels and consonants are in this wiki. However, I have no idea how to put those together to form the complex symbols. Maybe the work Koreader has done in creating a Korean keyboard helps.

If you try and create the keyboard.txt, morphems.txt and collates.txt configuration files, I'll run another conversion of the dictionary and you can see whether it works better.
