How can I convert from .dict.xdxf to .xml and from .cdt or .zdt to .csv, .txt or .xml?
How can I convert from .dict.xdxf to .xml and from .cdt or .zdt to .csv, .txt or .xml?
The data in these files (.dict.xdxf and .cdt/.zdt) contains dictionary fields for bilingual dictionaries (about 5 fields). Each of the three files contains 100,000 to 350,000 lemmas (words). In other words, three databases.
I need to make these conversions because the only accepted formats for import in my software are .csv, .txt or .xml.

This solution is only available to members.

I saw the .PY files, too. I'm not sure if Python is a dependency or only required if you use those functions.

This was in the INSTALL file:
Installation Instructions
*************************
1)Unpack sources of makedict somewhere, lets name directory where you
unpack source code as $SRC_DIR
1)Choose directory to build makedict, lets name it as $BUILD_DIR,
2)Go to this directory
$cd $BUILD_DIR
3)Run `cmake'
$cmake $SRC_DIR
4)Run `make'
5)Run make install
========================== =
At least the build seems to be simplified by the use of cross-platform make tool.

Downloaded Makedict also from Sourceforge, opened it with BitZipper but what should I do with all the files? There was no installation file anywhere???
I will need to do many conversions during several years (the time it will take me to compile the dictionaries).
