Hello, Also, as a side note, have you looked at the Linguee downloadable .gindex files? Linguee is a translator app from deepl.com and it has a gratis android app with no ads which can download all the necessary files for complete off-line use. Thanks a lot for your effort and time & any tips will be greatly appreciated! |

If you don't mind keeping an internal index file (or in-memory loaded on startup) for lookup, I would suggest something simple like CSV or Tabfile (CSV is simplest). Otherwise (if you want the glossary with an index itself), I would suggest DICT.org / Dictd format. |

No, not at all. It's completely gratis to use offline by downloading the dictionaries and doesn't have any ads. The version of the app I have (1.3.0) has something like 16 translation packets available to download for free. I think that perhaps with the proper attribution they could even allow for a f/los software to get their packets, since they, as far as I understand, make no money from the app, only from the premium deepl translations of texts. Probably the app is their way of advertising for the deepl programme? |

It's a binary format. Looking at the bytes, cracking it doesn't seem straightforward. Can't even reverse engineer it without a "builder" tool. Doesn't seem worth the effort. Probably better to just crawl the website (which is outside the area of PyGlossary). |

You can find their document files in: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/tree/master/doc/p
And their Python codes in: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/tree/master/pyglossary/plugins
Otherwise (if you want the glossary with an index itself), I would suggest DICT.org / Dictd format.
Even though StarDict format is much more popular, it has a lot of features and it's complicated, and very few programs (probably none except for the official StarDict application) have full support of the format.
