aard-tools: Compiler option from Babylon (.BGL) and/or Compressed StarDict (.dict.dz, .ifo) dictionaries with Aard Tools? #24

TheLinuxKitten commented 11 years ago

I would use the dictionary arrdict in an eBook reader with CoolReader 3, I've compiled the wiki and Spanish Wikt with Aard-tools. I have several encyclopedic dictionaries for Babylon PC program but I can not compile with Aard-tools. With stardict-editor I can convert to Compressed StarDict: res/, .ifo, .dict.dz, .idx, .syn. Can compile Babylon dictionaries and/or Compressed StarDict dictionaries?

thanks

Neither babylon nor stardict dictionaries can be used as a source for aardc at the moment. New converter modules of course can be developed for aard compiler to support new source formats, feel free to contribute :)

Note that many dictionaries are available in XDXF format, which can be converted to aard format. http://aarddict.org/dictionaries/ doesn't provide the ready-to-use downloads since it is not clear if licenses of these dictionaries allow such distribution.

This info is very useful and should be noted at this page.

itkach commented 11 years ago

It is noted in the Do It Yourself section of the said page, not sure what else would you like to see there.

You're right. I was just confused when couldn't find an English-Russian dictionary for quite some time... Sorry for the noise.
