Hi
I have a tab delimited text file (each entry on new line) which I want to convert to star dict format database file. I want to use this dictionary database file in OmegaT translation memory tool as well as in Golden Dictionary desktop application. Unfortunately I cannot find any help online regarding this conversion. Could you please help me find a software/tool to convert a tab delimited file to stardict database file?
Regards

Did you find a solution in the end? Or just use the DSL format?

Use pyglossary: "A tool for converting dictionary files aka glossaries with various formats for different dictionary applications."
Windows installation:
First download and install python x86 or python x64
Then clone the pyglossary GitHub repository (or just download it) and unzip on your PC.
Finally run this command (edit paths accordingly):
C:\path1\Python\python.exe c:\path2\pyglossary\pyglossary.pyw --ui=tk
