GoldenDict Forum

I have a WordNet 3.1 database file in dict folder, I added it GoldenDict, but nothing happened? I could add another Spanish dict extension file without any problem, I'm new to this apps, can some one please tell me how to add WordNet 3.1 dictionary to GoldenDict?

Thanks for your reply, my Spanish dictionary is just one file with extension dict, and with this one, I had no problem, as soon as I added it, it showed up right away, but with WordNet 3.1 it's a folder named dict, when I added it, it did not show up, I did re-scan several times to no avail, I also added the subfolder dbfile, and also nothing.
ps: 1) does the location of the dict folder matters? I put the dict folder in my D drive and not in the GoldDict installed directory.
2) when you add a dictionary (Edit => Dictionary => Files) does it matter if it's a folder instead of a file? when I added Spanish dictionary it's a file and it went smoothly, but with WordNet 3.1, which is a folder, it didn't work.
3) after you added a folder/file, there's a recursive checkbox, do I have to check that box for WordNet 3.1?

May be you need to put on the same folder all your's dictionary's no with subfolders
or check the box for recursive

Sorry, tried both, none worked. I went to my Spanish dictionary, and it has a file with extension .dict and .index, but in WN there's no such file, so I'm curious if GoldenDict can actually see/work with WN? Maybe it's not compatible. Do you have WN working with GoldenDict?

Oh sorry i dont know if that is possible... maybe need to transform

Thanks, I'll keeping searching. I saw that someone did it, and couldn't find out how.

Ok if you find the answer tell us

Sure, if I found out how to do it, I'll post it back, it might take a while since I'll be busy for the next few weeks.
