I'm lost!
I've got a Kobo Clara HD with Koreader installed and working. I'm trying to get italian, english and spanish dictionaries. Installing from Koreader only shows it-en and it-ru dictionaries, but I want an italian-only dictionary, and a spanish-only too. English-only seems to be provided by the "GNU collaborative international dictionary". If I open the Dictionary support page ( https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ionary-support ), the Firedict site doesn't have the dictionaries I'm looking for. Kobo default reader (Nickel) has these dictionaries (both italian-only and spanish-only are pretty good), I've them in my device, although they're in "dicthtml" format. The same dictionaries are available for download here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=196931 The problem is that they're installed by Nickel, and I need them in Koreader. I can't find the way to convert dicthtml to stardict: - penelope is not supported anymore (and if I try to install, pip gives me an error) - apparently there's this project, "pyglossary", that is still mantained, that replaces penelope, and that converts many formats to stardict, but not from dicthtml, or maybe I can't choose which option for the "input format" - there's also dictutil (https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/) that extracts the kobo's dicthtml to a collection of html/xml files, but I can't find the way to convert these to stardict I dont' know what to do. Why is it so difficult? I've been searching so much with no result of instructions how to install these dictionaries! Am I the only italian/spanish speaking person using koreader in the world? Please help! |

You won't be able to convert Kobo's own dictionary, for obvious reasons (DRM).
But you can deal with the format itself (via dicutil & pyglossary [might need a dev version, but it supports it just fine]). Meaning if you can't find stardict dictionaries, the custom dictionaries thread in the Kobo forum may have something you want buried somewhere in it that you can deal with.

Also there're fine dicts based on Wikidictionary on https://github.com/BoboTiG/ebook-reader-dict/releases. Both in Kobo format and in stardict. Didn't check other languages but spanish looks complete enough for me.

How to decrypt Kobo's dictionaries
Quote:
https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/dictutil/unpack.html https://github.com/pgaskin/dictutil/releases/tag/v0.3.2 with this command: ./dictutil-linux-64bit unpack dicthtml-it.zip and I got the input files following one of these links: official kobo dictionaries: (to download dictionaries from kobo website) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=196931 custom dics: (to download the same dictionaries from mobileread.com) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=232883 The v1 dictionaries are served from download.kobobooks.com/ereader/dictionaries/dicthtml*.zip, while the v2 dictionaries are served from download.kobobooks.com/ereader/dictionaries/v2/dicthtml*.zip. Then some notes point to: Koreader dir: (formato StarDict) /run/media/user/KOBOeReader/.adds/koreader/data/dict Nickel dir: (formato html) /run/media/user/KOBOeReader/.kobo/dict |
