Kindle dictionary
Procedure to generate a kindle dictionary
Download startDict from https://code.google.com/p/stardict-3/downloads/list.
Download a free "Dutch to French" dictionary such as the one provided by FreeDict (under GPL). For example stardict-freedict-nld-fra-2.4.2.tar.bz2.
Extract it; in the resulting directory rename the ".dz" file into a ".gz" file and extract it again (7-zip on windows).
Use startDictEditor to "decompile" the dictionnary. You should end up with a "tab delimited" ASCII file "word TAB definition".
Use tab2opf (http://www.klokan.cz/projects/stardict-lingea/tab2opf.py) to convert the tab file to an opf file.
Edit the opf file to:
- modify the content of and tags;
- modify the to define the title and the language of the dictionary.
Execute mobigen ( http://www.mobipocket.com/soft/prcgen/mobigen.zip) on the opf file to generate a mobi file.
Copy it on your kindle.
