I wrote an article about this subject including instructions on fixing the bug with the dollar sign based on the fix posted by florian (thanks florian!). It also gives a solution to the 'memset' error posted by Anonymous. You can find my article here: http://saibot.no-ip.info/wiki/Babylon_dictionaries_and_Linux

Also I wouldn't be able to write the article without this guide. Thanks!

thanks man!

2008-02-13T00:18:40.542-08:00

Have you tried to convert "hfarsi advanced"?
It gives me the error: "Error opening hfarsi.bgl"
Hfarsi is a really great English to Farsi dictionry and It would be so nice to have it also in stardic.
If you could convert it, please let me know.
Thanks, Ahmad.

For those who dont want to wait, here some small instructions:

1) wget http://mattneri.altervista.org/files/dictconv-0.2.1.tar.gz
(there are some other bugs fixed in that file, dunno if they influence the outcome)
2) unzip file
3) gedit src/babylonreader.cpp
4) after while( entry.headword != "" )
{(line 52) insert

int pos = entry.headword.find_first_of('$');
if (pos > 0)
{
entry.headword = entry.headword.substr(0,pos);
}

5) done! ./configure && make && sudo make install

I fixed the bug with the dollar sign words, and the problem that it does not recognize some simple words.

If you want to have that version, please write me to my gmail-accout, username is florian.bw.

I will try to contact the dictconv author and put it online somewhere when I have time.

There is an easy (not so elegant) way to tackle the word$12345$ problem. Just convert as usual the .bgl dictionary to plain text .dic. Open it in Open Office Writer, in “find and replace” dialog, check “Regular expression” and use \$[:digit:]*\$ for replacing all the occurrences of $12345$.
Save and use the stardict-editor tool for building stardict dictionary from plain text file (“tab file” in stardict terminology). stardict-editor comes with stardict-tools package.
Next, dictzip the .dict file and move to stardict share directory as usuall.

HTH.

2007-12-05T10:39:25.138-08:00

You are the guy, I've looked many years a software to convert .bgl to other format, like stardict. Thank you very much!
I had the same problem with word$94944$ and I think that it could easily fixed, maybe. I think the problem is in the .idx files. I still didn't look the source code but I imagine that when you are generating the .idx you could check the 'word$448484$' patern and fix it to 'word'.
Thank you again! ;-)
