DSL

Dictionary Specification Language is a widely used format, which was introduced by ABBYY Lingvo.

DSL format is open, but not well described.
Particular enhancements of DSL format support will be done on users' requests.

Hence, in case of inproper work of JaLingo with DSL (something is wrong or not implemented), post your suggestions to JaLingo Forum.

Mova

Mova format used in Mueller and Transmagus dictionaries.

Often these dictionaries have rich content with transcriptions, indents, lists and highlights.

PtkDict/phpMyLingvo MySQL dumps

PtkDict MySQL format was first introduced in PtkDict application, which used pre-installed MySQL server as a storage for its dictionaries. The dictionaries were distributed as dump files which are produced by mysqldump command.

phpMyLingvo is another, web-based application which also uses MySQL server to store dictionaries.

Sdictionary

Dictionaries from Sdictionary community site.



NOTE: Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic characters will show as empty boxes if support of eastern languages is not enabled in your operating system.

NOTE: I haven't found a way show Georgian characters properly, but I leave Georgian dictionaries in the list above, so you may try them anyway. Please, contant me (jaesar[chicken-monkey]users.sourceforge.net) if you were sucessful using these dictionaries or you know how to make Java render Georgian characters.
