I'm looking to generate a dictionary for cedict with the latest executables. I've looked through the documentation with regards to dictionary generation and have a question with dictionaries with more columns than languages. For example, cedict has this format:
"simplified char" "traditional char" "pronounciation" "english translation"
I think I can use languageXContentNN to help specify some of these columns(namely "traditional char" and "pronounciation" columns). Is that correct? If not, what will I need to do specify these columns? Thanks!
Sunny.
Yes, exactly, you can use the content-definitions for this.
Probably you will have two columns: one for Chinese and one for English (for example separated by a tab-character).
Then for the Chinese column you use the content-syntax such as in
[01Simplified] [02traditional] [03pronounciation]
However: Lars is already working to get CEDICT on the latest version of DictionaryForMIDs. Best you co-ordinate your activities directly with Lars.
