Dictionaries

words sources

Although application allows to get words from everywhere including web and different kinds of plain files it do not have abilities to recognize correct word form or sentence range. Sometimes translation services are good for particular area or language pair but really weak for another one.

Here you will find the set of links for collections of supported dictionaries as well as dictionaries created by users of Lingo Quiz. If you think that your own dictionary has to be here, just export it and sent to me to publish it.

Lingvo Tutor (LTX)

Lingvo Tutor is a part of Abbyy Lingvo installation package which actually allows you to study words. It uses special XML format for dictionaries. To let Lingo Quiz recognize this kind of dictionary just rename it's extension from XML to LTX (Lingvo Tutor Xml).

The easiest way to achieve this is to run the next PowerShell script (for Windows users) in console: (Get-Content "1.xml") -join "" -replace "\t" | Set-Content "1.ltx" -encoding unicode ; right after replacement of file names and pathes to them to your own.
