What dictionary format do you use?

bgl, sorry, I forgot to state!

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to rename BGL dictionaries at the moment, it is a binary format.

Maybe can I convert it to Stardict format? Which format should I use if I want to keep pictures?

Wait a minute! So, you're using the Android version and would like just to limit the dictionary title?

There might be solution for this problem.

Just place the following article-style.css file into GoldenDict/.config folder on your device. You should see infocache, indexingprefs files and index folder in the same location, to make sure you're using the right one.

And you need to forcefully restart GoldenDict to make sure it uses the new CSS file. If you can't see any effect after GoldenDict restart, then just reboot the whole device to make sure. With this style file the dictionary name will be limited to a single line.

Thanks a lot! Maybe with css can you help me with this trouble? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2308

I'm not sure that it is possible to change the pop-up size. At least, I don't know such way.

The only option I'm aware of is to change between the full-screen translation and the pop-up window. Personally, I always use the full screen translation, since the smaller sized pop-up window doesn't have enough space.

Many thanks!
