      There used to be an offline dictionary app for UT: KnownDict. It's not in the store currently, but the code is still around and still runs:

      @doniks said in Moving to UBports now:

      @guru I have good memories of knowndict as well! Seems its enough to

      bzr branch lp:knowndict
      cd knowndict 
      clickable --sdk 16.04
      

      I get through the wizard. But I cant remember anymore how to put a dictionary in there 😛

      In order to really use the app one has to manually find and install a "stardict" formatted dictionary though. But I'm stuck with this: Where do I find useful dictionaries? All I can find are old and defunct websites and strange .exe files.

      If nobody else feels like, I could compile it and push it to the store (I'm not promising to do any meaningful development with it though). But if I can't even use it myself, that doesn't make much sense.

            No, sorry. I could only upload them to some place of the community.

                I finally dug up a website: download.huzheng.org , but now I can't figure out how to import it. in the import wizard, I get to the point where I select the folder where I placed the three files, but then nothing else happens 😞

                  Do you have installed the file manager app? The KnownDict should ask which app to use to import and one must use the file manager.

                    @guru yes I have the file manager installed. I just realized that I seemingly have to select all three files in the file picker and not the folder where they are in. But I now I'm stuck again. What I do:

                    1. open file manager, navigate to Download folder, check that I have the three files inside
                    2. open knowndict go to import, tap "start import"
                    3. file selector shows up, tap on file manager
                    4. file mgr shows up. navigate to the Download folder, longpress to select the first, then the other two, then tap select top right
                    5. returns to known dict. it shows the three files and a button "complete import" but that button doesn't seem to do anything when I hit it

                              doniks, I have had to install KnownDict into my new flashed 16.04-OTA5 and to import a dictionary, of course. I shoot a series of screens while walking though this. If you still have problems with this, just drop me a pm.

                                  And what happens if you click that button 'Complete imports'?
                                  I don't think that number of files is causing the problem. I created the dictionary you saw in my screens by own and may be I did something wrong. Just test some other dictionary.

                                  Let me know if you have figured it out, please.

                                    And what happens if you click that button 'Complete imports'?

                                    Visibly in the app nothing happens. In the log file I see this:

                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: QSqlQuery::prepare: database not open
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: select * from dictionary where filename=? :  " Parameter count mismatch"
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: copy dict file error :  "/home/phablet/.cache/knowndict.doniks/HubIncoming/52/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary.dict"
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: copy dict file error :  "/home/phablet/.cache/knowndict.doniks/HubIncoming/52/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary.idx"
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: copy dict file error :  "/home/phablet/.cache/knowndict.doniks/HubIncoming/52/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary.ifo"
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: QSqlQuery::prepare: database not open
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: insert dictionary error:  " Parameter count mismatch"
                                    unknown- 0: unknown M: dictDB.addDictionary() error  
                                    file:///opt/click.ubuntu.com/knowndict.doniks/0.1.4/share/qml/knowndict/dict/ContentHubPicker.qml- 188: onClicked M: db_addDict_fail
                                    

                                    I don't think that number of files is causing the problem.

                                    Agree. I don't think so either

                                    I created the dictionary you saw in my screens by own and may be I did something wrong. Just test some other dictionary.

                                    I've now tried the second one. Both don't import and the logs look pretty much the same

                                    Could you try the
                                    Concise Oxford English Dictionary (En-En)
                                    from here: http://download.huzheng.org/bigdict/index.html
                                    does it work for you?
