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 and Usage
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps outlined below to import your custom dictionary into Yomichan:
|
|
|
|
1. Download a pre-built binary for Linux, Mac OS X or Windows from the project page.
|
|
2. Launch the `yomichan-gtk` executable after extracting the entire archive (or `yomichan` from the command line).
|
|
3. Specify the source path of the dictionary you wish to convert.
|
|
4. Specify the target path of the dictionary ZIP archive that you wish to create.
|
|
5. Press the button labeled *Import dictionary...* and wait for processing to complete.
|
|
6. On the Yomichan options page, browse to the dictionary ZIP archive file you created.
|
|
7. 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 does not support such paths. Attempts to convert dictionaries stored in paths containing illegal characters
|
|
may cause the conversion process to fail.
