Problem with downloading dictionary

rondo · 07-05-2023, 08:09 AM

I have encountered a problem. My KOReader (ver. 2023.05.1, Kindle Paperwhite PW5) cannot download the ukrainian dictionary called "Великий тлумачний словник сучасної української мови" (explanatory-uk-uk.tar.gz). This file (on server) weighs a very small amount of bytes (only around 200kb).

And when I download this file, my KOR ends up with error (screenshot): https://imgur.com/Wv7iNuh

So, I have questions:
1. It's only me, or it's common problem?
2. Can I somehow fix that?
3. Where I can find this dictionary (explanatory-uk-uk) to upload it manually via cable to KOReader/data/dict?

Thanks!

Not you, the link is dead

I assume it got DMCA'd, @hius07?

Hi, NiLuJe!
Maybe you know where I can download this dictionary and manually upload it to the book?

Sorry for intruding in your post.

I've got a similar problem when trying to download the Romanian-English Wiktionary. Thought of just asking here for help.

Also, every time I click to download is asks to turn on Wi-Fi even though it's connected.

After that it shows a prompt with the message
"Dictionary file size is %1 (nil bytes)..."

I hit Download an the I get the "Could not save file to:... " message.

My reader it's a Pocketbook Era with firmware 6.8

Thanks,

Hi! Any chance anyone have ukrainian-english dictionary for kobo? I've been looking for ages and can't find it. I've got some xdxf dictionaries but i'm not sure how to convert it to XML. Will appreciate any help

Hi, slovnyk_uk-en is available to be downloaded within KOReader.

If you want a dictionary to be used on Kobo software then please ask on the Kobo subforum.
