I made some progress yesterday. I have most of the character maps that I need now and I've finished replacing the gaiji in 新明解. Now I'm in the middle of creating some regular expressions for the search and replace reformatting of 新明解. Rikaichan uses a rather quirky format for its sqlite fields, which is making it a little difficult.

So far so good though. I'm definitely testing the limits of my knowledge and learning quite a bit while I'm at it.

Thanks for those links nortalf, I appreciate it.

Great idea!
I'd love to see 明鏡 or 大辞線 converted (if 大辞林's too big, then I'd be more than thankful for just 明鏡), currently I'm using 明鏡 with Lingoes as a Rikaichan alternative, but it doesn't always work as smoothly as I'd like.

Any update on this? I'm a heavy Rikaikun user and I've recently started using Japanese dictionaries in preference to EDICT, so I'd love something like this.

What? still no monolingual version?

Just use Stardict and/or Lingoes. They're offline, more expansive, and customizable.

For monolingual Rikaichan, there's always cb4960's mod.

I couldn't even get stardict to run in Anki. finding the dictionaries is difficult as well

Finding them is easy. Downloading them at anything faster than a crawl is hard...

If by a crawl you mean a few seconds: (BROKEN LINK) http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?pi...25#p140325

Anyway, cb4960's mod features Sanseido, Stardict and Lingoes work everywhere with plenty of dictionaries, but there is no pop-up dictionary that automatically pops up in Anki, you need a mouse/keyboard combination to copy to clipboard from the card. Rikaichan doesn't work outside the browser, period, so I'm not sure how for T91 the argument against using Stardict is that it doesn't work in Anki, which it does, it simply requires a trigger.

Between Yomichan, Stardict, Lingoes, and the Rikaichan mod, and also the glossing stuff, not sure that there's any major functions left to request. Only refinement. ;p And direct Anki card creation in the pop-up dictionaries. ^_^

@nest0r (and those who use the Sanseido-mod of cb perhaps) In the German version the saved meanings are not seperated by ";" but with "/" instead. (Dunno if it's the same for the English dictionary, too!) Just as a note

It's probably better to have forward slashes than it is semicolons. That way if you're creating a text to import, the field delimitation will have fewer potential problems.

I find that lingoes works in Anki automatically so I wouldn't say it doesn't. Im not sure how to get Stardict's scan to work without messing up. ifs in a document its screws up, and the only way for it is to copy it to clipboard and press alt+crtl+x in order for it to pop in stardict? my stardict scan only seems to work within a browser automatically which doesnt make any sense to me. seems like a lot of trouble to get a scan to work =/

Neither Lingoes nor Stardict work automatically in Anki or latest Firefox or Chrome (i.e. they don't pop up w/ a mouseover), they require being copied to the clipboard first using mouse/keyboard to display popups. In other words, if you're using any sort of pop-up dictionary in Anki, you have to activate with mouse/keyboard.
