A Sanskrit-English Dictionary - Arthur A. Macdonell

[drdhaval2785]

md.txt

Uploading the MD dictionary from Cologne dictionaries. It is actually .babylon file, but changed to .txt because github doesn't allow upload of .babylon files into issues.

In future I will be supplementing all dictionaries from Cologne. It makes sense to have sa-Cologne folder. Otherwise I can put them in sa-head or wherever you want. @vvasuki Take a call and let me know.

नमस्ते धवल,

sa-Cologne इति पृथक् सङ्ग्रहो मास्तु। वर्गीकरणं विषयकेन्द्रितं स्यात् - न स्रोतःकेन्द्रितम्।

भवान् sa-head/macdonell इति सृष्ट्वा तत्रोपारोपयतु macdonnel.babylon इति रूपेण। ततः cd sa-head; make dicts=macdonell इत्यादिः।

@vvasuki Tried adding MacDonell. Please see whether it is properly integrated. This is my first trial at fresh dictionary submission. If there is any suggestion / correction, let me know.

[drdhaval2785]

Java didn't give any error while conversion to stardict from babylon. But it seems something is wrong. There is a failure message in my stardict updater. See screenshot.

[vvasuki]

No screenshot attached?

Got it - you're using an older buggier script - resulting in a bad tar.gz file. Please do a pull and run make tars DICTS=macdonell again. If you open the tar.gz file you should be able to directly see the dictionary files (ie they should not be in subfolders).

Also, for future reference, it's a good idea to open bugs in the most relevant project - this one should have been in stardict-sanskrit

Ok. I wanted to open an issue in stardict-sanskrit only. But the readme of this repo said that I have to open an issue to add dictionary. So opened here. Misled by readme. Can you correct it please. Modify it to read 'open an issue in stardict-sanskrit'.

[vvasuki]

Thanks, fixed readme.

@vvasuki

My all scripts were git pulled and updated before I ran the code. It seems that the current script itself is buggy when it comes to tar making. See screenshot.

It created a whole directory structure /home/dhaval/stardict-sanskrit/macdonell folder instead of the files directly.

[vvasuki]

Ah - the jar file in sanskritnlpjava/out was outdated. all fixed now. produced the proper tar.gz file. Dictionary installation should work now.

[drdhaval2785]

After a long drawn battle, now MacDonell is added in my phone. Give it a try and send some feedback.

[vvasuki]

Nice!

Will send feedback in separate issues.
