I would like to grab all the words I’ve made my dictionary learn (I’m a social scientist, so we have loads of silly long jargon words, and we make up more all the time). Once grabbed, I’d like to then import them into the dictionaries on the three other macs I use regularly… Any ideas?

The whole of this so-called method to add a dictionary DOES NOT work at all.

It opens Dictionary with the names of the dictionaries in it, but they do not work “Format not supported” is all that you get for any search word you try.

So please don’t waist your time !!

thanks anyway. i’ve searched this method and many of them proved it’s useful .

however, after converted the files successfully (.tar.bz2), i have not seen anything in the dictionary, as well as in the dictionary file (/library/dictionaries). i have no idea what happened.

any solutions?

I went thru the full routine, but when I tried to make DictUnifier put quick_italian-english into my dictionary, nothing happened [DictUnifier reports "script / not supported
script / not supported"]. BTW, when I downloaded the .tar file and unstuffed it, DU wouldn’t allow me to choose the files generated, but following the imagine in the instructions, I pointed DU at the .tar file, and viola, it seemed to go into the .tar file for what it lists as “quick_italian-english” for “Dictionary” and for Dictionary ID. Needless to say, I’m screwing up something. Suggestions?

Thanks. I actually meant Spanish definitions!!! StarDict has several very useful bilingual dictionaries involving Spanish, as well as a couple of Spanish Grammar dictionaries. But an open source Spanish definitions dictionary is needed as well.
