Adding custom dictionaries to Wenlin - help!!!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I really love Wenlin, it's the main Chinese learning application I use... on a daily basis, by the way. But I really lack Chinese-chinese dictionaries as they provide detailed word explanations and better examples. Moreover, some tech terms and names are missing.

I'm using Wenlin on Macbook...

I have some "sources" for Chinese Dictionaries... it would be great to put them into Wenlin!!! Any ideas how to add dictionaries?

I have programming expertise, so any scripts/sources/ideas are welcome!

PS I'm a BLCU student now

Hi Alexkos,

(just in case you didn´t see it.)

if you are able to transfer your material into the Wenlin format you could use the

Editing dictionary entries function... [Help.../ About Wenlin...]

Thank you! I've checked that manual...

I'm wondering if anyone has already written or created some custom dictionaries or transfer macros... for example for CEDICT...

I'm ready to share my results... frankly speaking, I'm rather time limited...therefore I ask for help

ADDED:

for example, this is an extract from dewenlin source:
