I thought I only shared the 2010 variant. Can't remember finding the 2019 variant, let alone the 2024 variant. Last edited by Markismus; 06-18-2024 at 05:57 AM. |

Well no, the 2019 one indeed is in the format that works; as it is on the pCloud. I'm having trouble with taking the 2024 one through the same process. As far as I know it's just a dictionary; the Van Dale GWHN 2024 edition. I don't even know if it's new or if it's just the copyright that gets updated on the Kobo device; as I've been unable to (as the instructions) see the difference between the one on my device and the one that became the 2019 edition on pCloud. I don't know if I've made myself clear.

Ah, so you have to convert the Kobo dictionary to a recognizable format first. I think there are scripts/converters that do that. Search this forum for that.
A low level comparison would be word count, than differences in words-entries, than differences in description. I don't think that modern 'updates' really improve/change much for the VanDale. There is a VanDale 1898* that is really good: It's from before the uniformization of Dutch language. Would love to have that one in a convertible format. Also, I would love to have the Dutch Etymology (pink cover) in digital format. It's nice to have them in the bookcase, but I only take it out for my kids. Yep, those are basically the only things the GWHN 2019 misses out on for me. _________________ *IIRC, it was included in a digital VanDale Edition somewhere around 2005 or something.

Hello, I am looking for a Spanish-Russian dictionary for pocketbook, do you know if there is a ready-made one?

Hi,
I've used converter3.exe to generate what I hope is a Swedish to English pocketbook dictionary using some updated Swedish language files (the ones I found on github were just copied from German) and the publicly available xdxf from the folkets lexikon It seems to have worked but I can't currently test it as I left my reader in a different country sadly. If anyone has the time to check it loads properly on a pocketbook reader and if so add it to the list of available dictionaries that would be awesome. Happy to 'buy you a coffee' if you do. Otherwise I'll try it when I get my reader back. Thanks |

@user1245465 Thanks for looking at the sv-files. I saw that the collates-file contained 'Ø', but the keyboard didn't. Why is that? Shouldn't you be able to type it? Or can you get it with a key-combination?

Hi Markismus,
It's little confusing as it is on the keyboard but is not in fact a Swedish letter. These days there is one keyboard for Danish, Norwegian and Swedish (A Nordic keyboard) the only difference is the two keys to the right of the L key produce different letters: Swedish: ö and ä Danish: æ and ø Norwegian: ø and æ So I've copied the Danish files and substituted ö for æ and ä for ø. I looked at the collates files and they appeared to contain pretty much every variation of a, o including the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and other languages so I just left it as it was. In fact I'm still not convinced that the keyboard files are completely correct as they contain the German ü which doesn't exist on the Nordic keyboard but I couldn't find a detailed description of the file format and it doesn't appear to be as simple as typing what's on the keyboard rows on each line (for example the p and å appear on the third row after the m in the keyboard file and not on the first line after the o as they do on the physical keyboard?), so I left the ü in there since it was in the original Danish keyboard file but think it's probably wrong. If anyone can point me in the direction of a description of the keyboard file format I'd be very happy to produce one for each of the Nordic languages.

The same goes for the morphems.txt file which I suspect should contain å, ö and ä in what looks to be the vowel section (%1=aeiouy).
If anyone can point me at a description of the format I'd be happy to produce an updated version for each of the Nordic languages. |
