KOReader StarDict formatting - multiple [image] bugs

sabymammamia · 01-06-2025, 11:19 AM

Hi

I've downloaded some dictionaries to my KOReader

(working on jailbroken Kindle 11) in a StarDict format and they are working correctly

(EN-EN, PL-EN, PL-PL), but the problem is with one of my EN-PL dictionaries. I couldn't find any good EN-PL dictionary in a StarDict format, so I downloaded one destined for Kindle (one .mobi file) and converted it to a StarDict format with https://github.com/anezih/mobi2stardict this tool. It took a while (unpacking the original .mobi file from what I remember, not really the conversion to StarDict) and a final dictionary was over 400MB, so I've read that it is possible to compress it and it will still work with KOReader well, so I did it and now it's about 40MB. However when I press some word, the dictionary finds it, so the dictionary works, but there is this "bug" because at the top of the result I see multiple [image] [image] [image] words. Sometimes there are 2-3, sometimes 10 and it happens with every word and only with this particular EN-PL dictionary. Does anyone have a solution for this? Is it wrong formatting or some option that could be easily disabled?

Would this work? This is how I managed to actually convert mine to Stardict.

python3 mobi2stardict.py --fix-links --dict-name "en-pl-dictionary" --textual --html-file "book.html"
usage: mobi2stardict.py [-h] [--html-file HTML_FILE] [--fix-links] [--dict-name DICT_NAME] [--author AUTHOR] [--chunked]
mobi2stardict.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --textual

Also this method looks extremely similar to what I did before and got those [image] [image] [image] ... but I will try maybe without this --textual option, but was that important for you? This argument is not valid in the current version of mobi2stardict
