Can you post the tools/scripts that you used to generate the .kll file in the .sdr folder or describe the steps for manually creating it?

I didnt use any tools/scripts. The only thing I did is modifying the wordwise.klld database file=short_def column, by changing base64 sentence from Arabic to English

While it's certainly helpful to know that English WordWise definitions can be replaced with definitions in other languages, it'd be even more helpful if someone found out how WordWise definitions are marked in the actual .azw3 books. I looked into this some time ago and created my own .azw3 version of "A Tale of Two Cities" from a PD source, changed the ASIN of my book to match the ASIN of the commercial book (which is free). However, when I replaced the commercial edition with my edition, WordWise no longer worked. It's therefore very likely that WordWise-enabled books have a special EXTH metadata entry and/or that the .kll file also stores the binary location of each word. |

The only modification you have to do is in /system/kll/wordwise.en.en.klld file
not the .sdr file .sdr file contains "positions" of words and sense.id only The meaning of the word that appears above the word is generated from /system/kll/wordwise.en.en.klld. |

I hope we will find programmers who can make things easier for making more wordwise dictionaries

This is an old thread, I know, but I was intrigued and wanted to document.
I used this DB Browser for SQLite and this BASE64 Decoder to peek into the wordwise kll.en.en.klld data base. For example the line #14523 of the senses table decodes to: Quote:
BTW I also have the CC-CEDICT.kll.zh.pn.klld SQLite data base in my system/kll directory, does anyone know where it comes from? Or which book caused it to be downloaded? |

CEDICT is an Open Source Chinese-English dictionary. Maybe Amazon converted it to its own format. Did you ever change the GUI to Chinese and/or did you download a Chinese language Kindle book for testing purposes? |

I never downloaded the klld file though! On further inspection, the klld is not related to wordwise at all. It looks like the dictionary itself in a different format. Strange |
