I want to get the best possible dictionary for KOReader. Does anyone have the Oxford English Dictionary in a way that is usable by KOReader? Or does anyone know of a similar dictionary?
What about dictionaries in other languages? Any way to convert Kobo dictionaries to KOReader dictionaries?
I found these links in a mobileread thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=358795
Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (26 MB) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b2Z8qs8BU5k9U6le8VnvsyA4wdSfZ9TG/view?usp=sharing
Oxford English Dictionary 2nd Ed (203 MB) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YQ6eqWD5mCkQ3wYsSUhyayA_rpKF-dHB/view?usp=sharing
Edit: Here’s a link to the color version of the SOED if anyone is interested in that one https://archive.org/details/soedrich-star-dict-2022-11-11
I haven’t tested them yet. Maybe it would be nice if some other people saved them, to safeguard them.
Best English dictionary in my opinion is Oxford Dictionary of English. This is default dictionary for Kobo ereader. I don’t know a lot about KOReader, but it seems it uses Stardict dictionary. I uploaded my own stardict convertion of ODoE on my brench(“Stardict_-_Oxford_Dictionary_of_English.zip” you need to unzip it). I hope it works (it should): https://gitlab.com/grilj.anze/e-reader-dictionaries-kobo-txt/-/tree/d83d17d2d006a13f0b406a6065cb04ae729d6153/
Thank you!
Can you also do this with other languages? The PT-PT (Portuguese, from Portugal) dictionary on Kobo is quite ok. I would love to have it available on KOReader.
I’ll take a look when I have the time.
Thank you, that would be great!
I uploaded stardict PT-PT. You can check it out, if it works. It should be the same dictionary as KOBOs, with similar formatting. If there are big problems, I can try to improve it.
