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!
