|
Yomichan Import is being expanded to support other EPWING dictionaries based on user demand. This is a mostly
|
|
non-technical (although laborious) process that requires writing regular expressions and creating font tables; volunteer
|
|
contributions are welcome.
|
|
|
|
## Installation ##
|
|
|
|
Builds of Yomichan Import are currently available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. The necessary version of
|
|
[Zero-EPWING](https://foosoft.net/projects/zero-epwing) is included for processing EPWING dictionaries.
|
|
|
|
* [yomichan-import\_linux.tar.gz](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-import/dl/yomichan-import_linux.tar.gz): (GTK+ 3 required for GUI)
|
|
* [yomichan-import\_darwin.tar.gz](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-import/dl/yomichan-import_darwin.tar.gz)
|
|
* [yomichan-import\_windows.zip](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-import/dl/yomichan-import_windows.zip) (64 bit Vista or above, no console output)
|

## Basic Usage ##
|
|
|
|
Please follow the steps outlined below to import your custom dictionary into Yomichan:
|
|
|
|
1. Launch the `yomichan-import` executable after extracting the entire archive.
|
|
2. Specify the source path of the dictionary you wish to convert.
|
|
3. Specify the target path of the dictionary ZIP archive that you wish to create.
|
|
4. Press the button labeled *Import dictionary...* and wait for processing to complete.
|
|
5. On the Yomichan options page, browse to the dictionary ZIP archive file you created.
|
|
6. Wait for the import progress to complete before closing the options page.
|
|
|
|
**Notice**: When converting EPWING dictionaries on Windows, it is important that the dictionary path you provide does
|
|
not contain non-ASCII characters (including Japanese characters). This problem is due to the fact that the EPWING
|
|
library used by Zero-EPWING, does not support such paths. Attempts to convert dictionaries stored in paths containing
|
|
illegal characters will cause the conversion process to fail.
