pyglossary VS goldendict

There is a nice database of some greek dictionaries here, all well formated for the goldendict dictionary program. Unfortunatly, .mobi files are not included in the releases, but if you are tech-savvy enough, PyGlossary should be able to convert them into hopefully usable files.

pip install -U git+https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary

If you have (legal) access to it, then it is also possible to load the entire OED 2nd edition. But if you find a copy which comes in two parts then you may need to play with pyglossary and dictutil to convert to Kobo's .df format and merge them before sending to your device. Some technical competence helps here. I'll say that pyglossary wanted to spit out many, many warnings about unexpected elements, but I was able to suppress them with the -v1 verbosity level option and it doesn't seem to have affected the output (though I didn't examine it very closely beyond just a couple sanity check lookups on my device).

I think your best bet would be to find an English-Russian dictionary in another format and convert it yourself. The conversion program I know of is Pyglossary. It can convert from many formats.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry, maybe shouldn't have posted haha!

Allow more languages. (shot in the dark. I know the app is for japanese, but the idea would be nice with other languages if it supported other dictionaries. Say, some format from here, maybe... https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. )

Bascially the way to do it is to use a dictionary converter tool to convert from an existing dictionary. PyGlossary is the tool I used.

Looking at your link, there seems to be a .db dictionary called DigitalNK. Do you know what this is? Is it N-Grams? https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/blob/master/doc/p/digitalnk.md

Hej! I am a newbie on Danish. Currently I am seeking a Danish-English dictionary for looking up words during my study. It would be better if the dictionary could be read by goldendict.

I'm working on it. But it seems that windows has no standard way to do this, so it will require the installation of a 3rd party software like "Golden Dict" http://goldendict.org/

I have installed the golden dictionary app which is a kind of app http://goldendict.org/ in which when you look up a word it opens the word in multiple dictionaries. now i want to add one more dictionary to it ie THE OXFORD ENGLISH URDU DICTIONARY https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.msdict.embedded.wireless.oxford.oxfordurdu&hl=en&gl=US to it. I have bought android version of this dictionary. can anybody help me how can i make this dictionary part of golden dict.

The upstream code needs to move from WebKit to WebEngine. It seems this effort is still in progress -- https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues/1081. QtWebkit is deprecated and not maintained for a long time now (there are security issues) so it was dropped from the distribution, and it won't be coming back. When goldendict has a release which supports webengine, it should work fine.

We sometimes hear from alternatives to Kiwix, but more often than not they completely fly under our radar and there's plenty of good learnings we miss. I know of r/xowa for instance (though the main dev seems to have moved on and not worked on their code since March), and someone recently flagged GoldenDict for Wiktionary files on our Github repo. Livio's android dictionary is also a really great product.
