Yomichan-Import
Yomichan Import allows users of the Yomichan extension to import custom dictionary files. It currently supports the following formats:
- JMdict
- JMnedict
- KANJIDIC2
- EPWING
-
[Daijirin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daijirin) (三省堂 スーパー大辞林) -
[Daijisen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daijisen) (大辞泉) -

Yomichan Import is being expanded to support other EPWING dictionaries based on user demand. This is a mostly non-technical and (although laborious) process that requires writing regular expressions and creating font tables; volunteer contributions are welcome.
Installation
Yomichan Import is currently available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows:
Usage
Yomichan Import is a simple command line application. If you are a Windows user and are not comfortable using the
terminal to input commands, you can use the provided yomichan-import.bat batch file instead of the
yomichan-import.exe executable to run the application in interactive mode.
When invoked without any arguments (or executed with --help), the application will output usage instructions:
Usage: yomichan-import [options] input-path [output-dir]
https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-import/
Parameters:
-format string
dictionary format [edict|enamdict|kanjidic|epwing]
-port int
port to serve dictionary JSON on (default 9876)
-pretty
output prettified dictionary JSON
-serve
serve dictionary JSON for extension
-stride int
dictionary bank stride (default 10000)
-title string
dictionary title
In the vast majority of cases it is enough to simply provide the path to the dictionary resource you wish to process, without explicitly specifying a format. Yomichan Import will attempt to automatically determine the format of the dictionary based on the contents of the path:
| Format | Resource |
|---|---|
| edict | file named JMDict_e.xml |
| enamdict | file named JMNedict.xml |
| kanjidic | file named kanjidic2.xml |
| epwing | directory with file named CATALOGS |
For example, if you wanted to process an EPWING dictionary titled Daijirin, you could do so with the following command (shown on Linux):
$ ./yomichan-import dict/Kokugo/Daijirin/
Yomichan Import will now begin the conversion process, which can take a couple of minutes to complete:
2016/12/29 17:12:12 converting 'dict/Kokugo/Daijirin/' to '/tmp/yomichan_tmp_825860502' in 'epwing' format...
After dictionary processing is complete, the tool will start a local web server to enable the Yomichan extension to retrieve dictionary data. Users of Windows will likely see a firewall nag dialog at this point; you must grant network access in order to make the converted dictionary data accessible to the extension.
2016/12/29 17:12:20 starting dictionary server on port 9876...
As a final step, open the Yomichan options dialog and choose the Local dictionary item in the dictionary importer
drop-down menu. When you see that http://localhost:9876/index.json displayed in the address text-box, you can press
the Import button to begin the import process. Once the imported dictionary is displayed on the options screen, it is
safe to terminate the Yomichan Import tool.
