I converted U l r i c h A p e l ' s Wadoku Jiten, a Japanese-German dictionary, into Jim Breen's 'EDICT-format', EUC-coded without any diacritics and German Umlaute.
Thank you very much.
This dictionary file works very fine with gjiten.
and with Jim Breen's 'xjdic' as well.
There are two files: a version close to Wadoku Jiten entries and a second one close to the plain 'EDICT-format' (the second one works better with gjiten).
I made this one also available for download here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-noarch/gdict-20010512-0.noarch.rpm
The downloadpage: www.bibiko.com/dlde.htm or www.bibiko.com/dlen.htm. On this page you will find the index file too.
To get the index generated automatically, it is enough to add 'gdict' to the list of dictionaries in /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.xjdic DICTS=" 4jwords aviation classical compdic compverb concrete edict edicth enamdict findic geodic j_places jddict.v02 kanjd212 kanjidic lingdic mktdic pandpdic gdict " Then the index file will be generated automatically when 'gdict' is found in /usr/share/edict. /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.xjdic comes from xjdic-indices.rpm which is required by gjiten.rpm. The xjdic packages available here ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-2.3-73.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-data-2.3-73.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-indices-2.3-73.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-2.3-52.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-data-2.3-52.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-indices-2.3-52.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-src/xjdic-2.3-73.src.rpm already contain the entry for 'gdict'.
