I uploaded stardict PT-PT. You can check it out, if it works. It should be the same dictionary as KOBOs, with similar formatting. If there are big problems, I can try to improve it.
Thank you!
I will try it out later and see how it goes. Did you take this from Kobo itself? It would be nice to learn how to do that!
No, I just check what version they are using and download the same one. I tried directly from Kobo, but you can only extract "words," not definitions; those are encoded.
I then use pyglossary to convert to something editable like txt. Then i use python scripts (made by chatgpt) to improve formatting. Or sometimes I manually do some. It all depends how much time i want to spend on them. I spend enourmous amount on english so its kinda perfect
I also make a bunch of dictionaries merged into one. So i can see in one dictionary definition in english and translation in my native language. And i also add fictionaries for books i am reading (names, locations etc). I scrape or download from fandom wiki. But yeah all of this i make with the help of python scripts and chatgpt otherwise I wouldn't know how to.
I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a "fandom wiki" dictionary maker: https://github.com/Runik-3/core. I have used it in the past and it works perfectly.
Thank you I was not aware! I'll try it soon.
Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.
Is there a way to style it? For example, a word "XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2" would look much better like so:
"XYZ:
Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.
Hey, I will take a look and try to do the formatting you suggested. I think I already have the script to do this exactly.
You should/could do a tutorial on how to do these sort of things, both get the dictionaries and format them!
Good idea. I'll think about it. I was really busy last week. I will try to fix your dictionary this week.
Can you please check this version of the dictionary I uploaded for you: https://mega.nz/file/TaY0wIDB#O0hjLsm_VYB71ZwRohK4YlYvpsaRTeFGzCK23nU7yvQ I would like to know if it's formatted the same as previous one or better. I don't know have KOreader so I can't test it myself right now. If the formatting is not better I have one more idea of what could be the problem.
