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.

ok thanks, I try

I downloaded the editor and installed stardict, what must I do exactly to run the editor?

You do not need stardict. I used the stardict editor because it can convert dictionaries .bgl in a txt file (with extension .babylon). You can find the details here:

The .babylon file can be edited with a text editor.

hello, I can ask you a big favor, I spent years after the kindle to kobo (has a bad dictionary of Italian) by chance do you have, or do you know where to find a more complete Italian dictionary? Thank you

Sorry, It's the best I could find and merge in long a years search. (Anyway it finds the 99% of words, and many other stuff). But if you have something better please, could you send it to ioses_@libero.it?

I'd like to convert it to .mobi changing the layout of the popup dictionary window of the kindle (I mean font, fontsize, lineheight, linespace, wordspace), So I've done many tries modifing the original python's script that does the conversion to mobi (http://www.klokan.cz/projects/stardi...a/tab2opf.py); but with little success (the only thing I changed was to bring the head of the entry in the same line of the definition).
So my question is: does anyone know how I must modify in the script in order to get the desired layout in the pop-up window? (or at least where can I download a script ready?)

Thanks

I do have a MUCH better Italian dictionary, which is the one I had in my first Kobos, it is the Devoto-Oli, weighs 13 361 kb (compare that to the one in your reader) and I saved it while the F/W 3.15 was new.

Among other things, it has ALL the old words in Dante's "Commedia", and is also an etymology dictionary.

I don't think I'm allowed to post it here, but perhaps if you have an old device with a build for the 3.15 F/W, you can get it? I think dictionaries are associated with F/W since I lose my dictionaries with direct Kobo updates (I try to avoid that, prefer side-loading F/Ws, but sometimes it happens when I turn on wi-fi to update Pocket.)
