This directory
--------------
This directory (tools/) contains useful tools for the DICT protocol.
For all those programs, you can get informations about their usage by running
"ruby program-name.rb --help".
Servers
=======
dict-proxy.rb
-------------
dict-proxy.rb is a DICT, over HTTP, proxy. In many companies, only few ports
such as HTTP (80) and FTP (21) are open. This prevents from using DICT clients
inside the company. dict-proxy.rb solves this problem.
"ruby dict-proxy.rb --server" must be run on the local machine and
dict-proxy.rb must be put on an HTTP server for which the DICT server is
accessible. Here is the scenario:
Query:
Client => ruby dict-proxy.rb --server (2628) => dict-proxy.rb on Apache (80)
Response:
Client <= ruby dict-proxy.rb --server (2628) <= dict-proxy.rb on Apache (80)
If dict-proxy.rb itself needs an HTTP proxy to connect to HTTP, use the
$http_proxy environment variable.
dict-server.rb
--------------
dict-server.rb is a basic extendable DICT server. It provides all the bricks so
someone who wants to add support for a new file format only has to write a
simple class.
Format converters
=================
The programs below can be used together with the dictfmt utility, a tool that
creates databases for the dictd server. Lots of dictionaries become thus usable
with the dictd server and so with your favourite DICT client Fantasdic!
stardict2dictd.rb
-----------------
stardict2dictd.rb converts stardict [1] very numerous dictionaries to a format
usable by the dictfmt utility.
epwing2dictd.rb
---------------
epwing2dictd.rb converts EPWING [2] (popular format in Japan) dictionaries to a
a format usable by the dictfmt utility. This tool requires rubyeb (libeb for
ruby). It also requires a modified version of libeb in order to generate an
index of dictionaries. See --help.
edict2dictd.rb
--------------
edict2dictd.rb converts a dictionary in EDICT format (e.g. EDICT [3],
ENAMDICT [4], CEDICT [5]) to a format usable by the dictfmt utility.
kanjidic22dictd.rb
------------------
kanjidic22dictd.rb converts Kanjidic2 [6] to a format usable by the dictfmt
utility.
tanakacorpus2dictd.rb
---------------------
tanakacorpus2dictd.rb convert the Tanaka Corpus [7] (a set of Japanese-English
sentences) to a format usable by by the dictfmt utility.
