Updated Wikipedia mDict conversions

  • Hi, I downloaded the Russian Wikipedia, and the problem is not search on Russian language (Cyrillic). Although the English are fine. You do not know how to solve?

  • I haven't made them.

    But I think I remember that I had to convert the text file for search to work somehow. Can't really remember anymore.

  • Many thanks, Sh0dan, for your Wikipedia conversions and links.

    I bought a bigger memory card to accommodate the 2.7GB one and now there's a 3.7 GB one - I need to get a bigger card !

    Finally, great job...

    I want to test the hebrew one..
    In my experience with the program, usually UTF-8 characters is not showed up in the text output..

    or may be it was just me..

    Hi, thank you so much for the Wikipedia dump which is an outstanding piece of software. I use the fr-wiki-max.mdx release of 12nov2010, but there is an issue with the display of numbers in many articles. If you search 'Paris', the population number for instance does not appear, whereas it does with the 'en-wiki-medium-oct10.mdx' release of 16nov2010. Any idea where that issue can come from ? Both 'fr' and 'en' wikipedia websites display normally all the numbers. Otherwise, wikipedia dump is an excellent tool.
