Is there a way to use Kobo dictionary in KOreader?

SleepyCatgirl · 06-05-2021, 03:13 PM

As in title,
So far the dictionaries I have tried for KOreader are just.. kinda unpleasant, like, doesn't give even proper definition of words.

While kobo dictionary, works really well, and is concise, so far I am at loss at how to get it to work for KOreader...
And seems it is encrypted so I am even more at loss..

Unless there is a stardict dictionary that I didn't see, that has proper and concise definitions?

Either way, since this involves kobo dictionary, I am posting it there.

Have you tried this dictionary?
https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/example...3-convert.html

(convert .df file using PyGlossary to StarDict)

And the convert .df to other formats does not work, although it is stated to the authors PyGlossary ... This is sad.

Sadly This wasn't of much help, sorry.
