Index of Custom Dictionaries for Kobo eReader - Page 30

bubulac · 07-30-2018, 12:48 AM

Hello everybody,
I've spent almost one week trying to figure how to convert a dictionary to a form accepted by Kobo, and either I can't make pyglossary to open, or cannot quite figure how to use Penelope... in short I gave up (I am no programmer or expert in using scripts and the likes).
So my last hope is that somebody could help me convert this Romanian dictionary into files that I can use in my Kobo:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1rg56w92a9zoi/dex2xml
or, at least, offer or point me to up-to-date advice on how to convert it (what programs to use, how to install them, how to use, in a "for dummies" collection type of language) :-)
Thank you in advance,

I'm sure there are probably some English-Chinese Stardict dictionaries out there. I chiefly use Chinese-Chinese or Chinese-English ones.

Hi "Question Mark" how the Chinese dictionaries works in Koreader? can you look long characters word? traditional Chinese too? where did you find the dictionaries.
Thank you!
I try read in Chinese with the KA1 but was imposible. Maybe with Koreader install is better.

PS: What version of Koreader do you have on the KA1?

Cheers!

Could you help me convert this babylon dict. to kobo zip file?
I tried to convert it but error again and again...
(I used the Pyglossary to convert to the stardict file, but the version is 3.0.0 and when I used the penelope to create the zip, and put into the kobo, I cannot see the dict. ><)

Dear friends,

Sorry for giving discomfort but after spending weeks on forms, I dediced to ask your help. Because I saw here that you helped many people converting dictionaries.
My problem is about finding russian-turkish detailed dictionary.
In whole internet world there is no dictionary to meet people's need.
lsd format does not supported by kobo. It is from Abbyy Lingvo program.
I did everything to understand procedures but it is beyond my understanding and capacity.

I have alredy files in .lsd format uploaded.

Can you help me coverting this dictionary?

Honestly I bought e-reader for this purpose but could not use effectively.
Waiting for your positive answers

To pass from bgl to a txt file, I use sometimes the program stardict-editor (you can download it from: https://code.google.com/archive/p/st...ject/downloads.
You can create in the tab compile (from a file with extension .bgl), a file with extension .babylon that it is a txt file you can easily edit.

Edit: I have tried with the file you linked and it breaks the program.
