Making Urdu - Turkish dictionary
Hello.
I used tab2opf.exe and mobigen.exe programs to produce an Urdu - Turkish dictionary from a database txt file for my Kindle New Touch. Unfortunately, mobigen.exe or tab2opf.exe programs didn't make appropriate process of transcribing letters of Urdu in mobi format dictionary so that mobi format dictionary identifies letters of Urdu in any text. Could you give me a solution for that problem, please? |

Thanks for your help. I fulfilled that command written above, however I encountered an error message which is:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "tab2opf.py", line 209, in <module> IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '-utf8' |

Thanks for your help. Modified command worked good and mobi format dictionary was produced successfully. Nevertheless, that dictionary doesn't translate any Urdu word to Turkish word in any text on my Kindle e-book reader. Does that problem stem from deficiency of Kindle in Urdu or Arabic languages?
Footnote: In Urdu language Arabic letters are used, and in Turkish language Latin letters are us |

For full RTL support you'd have to generate a KFX dictionary, however KFX dictionaries aren't supported by the Calibre KFX output plugin. |

Thanks for your help. How do I convert a txt database file to KFX dictionary for getting that dictionary?

Moved to the "Kindle Formats" forum, which is the correct place for such discussions. M
