How to compile (convert) dictionary Exel database to .dsl formate

I think it is clear!!!

No, it’s not clear. You should provide more details on your database structure. Assuming that you have source words in column A and translations in column B (same row), you can proceed different ways. For example:

1. Copy the table to the clipboard.
2. Paste to Word as text unformatted.
3. Search for ^t and replace with ^p^t.
4. Add a header, something like:

Code: Select all

#NAME   "My Great Dictionary"
#INDEX_LANGUAGE   "English"
#CONTENTS_LANGUAGE   "English"

5. Save as text encoded in Unicode.
6. Change the file name extension from .txt to .dsl.
