OK. I've found DSL version of OALD7 and successfully converted it using DictionaryConverter using the following command line:
converter.exe En-En-Oald7.dsl eng Loading collates... Loading morphems... Loading keyboard... Loading dictionary file... 61493 words loaded Sorting dictionary... Searching for equal words... Packing dictionary... Creating index... Writing output file... OK Total words: 61493 Total containers: 1990 (1014..5637 bytes) Words in container: 1..88 Dictionary file size: 7756044 bytes I've put the dictionary in system\dictionaries folder and did a quick test: "his" - missing "in" - missing Some words contain strange characters like: "{.}" and "little square symbol". Did anybody try to convert DSL dictionary to DIC? Do you have good result? |

It looks like the folks in the Ukraine do not spend much time on improving their software, which, as a matter of fact, is the only reason to buy a pocketbok instead of any other reader on the market. For instance, I cannot understand why they do not adapt stardict (free source) to work in pocketbook as it works on Iliad. But nobody cares. It is always the same in the world of software development. Lokk at Adobe's epub reader. It is the worst thing a software company ever brought to the market, and they even claim for property rights!

Use "convstar" to convert stardict dictionaries to a text file. However, this does not work with all stardict, because argument "h" (html codes) is not being recognized (unfortunately, some very good dictionareis, such as Langenscheid are converned). Well, if convstar routine finishes its work satisfactorily (without h-argument error) just take the textfile to the pocketbook converter and drag it together with the keyboard a.s.o. folders to the converter and a .dic file is being created. |

It convstar does not find the dict file, rename the file ending .dz into .gz and unpack it with 7-zip (freeware). As a result you will have a .dict file. It might work this way. I'm sorry not to be of much help to you, but that's all I know. There are several stardict files that won't convert. |
