Hi!

Does anybody know where there are downloadable dictionaries for
Glossword?

Or maybe someone knows how to convert Lingvo DSL, Babylon BGL,
Stardict, TXT, DBF/VAR or other formats to be readable for Glossword?

Thank you in advance!

As far as I know, there isn't a utility that converts between the
mentioned file formats.

Glossword supports CSV import and XML (in format specific only for
Glossword) formats.

If you can convert your input files to the specification supported by
Glossword - CSV or XML, then they can be imported.

In my opinion it'll be too complicated because Glossword doesn't
support custom fields at this point of development, in order to
recreate the schema of the input dictionaries.

For example, even if you have Oxford English Dictionary in an XML
format the mapping between the input XML schema and Glossword schema
is impossible because the elements supported by Glossword are too few.

I'm eager to have Glossword support for custom-made fields and
structure.

If I'm wrong, let somebody correct me.
