Can I add Urban Dictionary to the built in dictionary application?

I do have one question however, what if I want to create my own dictionary first and then use DictUnifier to put it in my Apple Dict App?

Thanks,
John

I´m trying to install the German Dict ldaf (Langenscheidt grossworterbuch Deutsch als Fremdsprache)

Everything runs perfectly fine. I wrote the Dict ID without spaces as MacHovis suggested in reply to matic, but still i cannot see the dictionary at the dict.app.

Also, I´m not being able to edit home/Library/Dictionaries/ldaf.dictionary. All I see is an icon like a LEGO. When I try double clicking, a msg appear and says there is no application associated.

I can enter the directory though via terminal. All Dictionaries are install at /Library… but the one I am trying is at my home. I have already tryed to move the file to the same directory where all the others are.

I´m new to mac, so any help is welcome!

thanks

Very helpful. How can I make these dictionaries now appear on the Dictionary Widget ? They only appear on the Dictionary App.

Thanks !!

Can someone tell me how to remove completely a downloaded dictionary (from Stardict) that is not working, but the name of the dictionary is still showing in the list of dictionaries available even if it is unchecked. This dictionary is the Académie française dictionary.

Thanks for your attention.

PS: To: David: Congratulations for your great work.
Now I have so many dictionaries that I want and I need to remove one! Is it possible?

Thank you so much. You are my manual-writing _hero_.

Worked the first time.

I deserve a beer, and I’m going to have one for you to.

Thanks,

I am a fantasy author and constantly am creating new words and their associated definitions. Is there a way I can create my own dictionary and definitions and then add these to the dictionary list?

Cheers

using DictUnifier in 10.6 doesn’t seem to work anymore

tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open ‘/Users/philod/Desktop/sources/Dictionary.app’: No such file or directory
no .ifo files existed in /Users/philod/Desktop/sources/Dictionary.app PlugIns/DICTS ORIG/Dictionary of Computing.tar.bz2, not a valid stardict format

anybody know a way around?

Just go to the issue page of DictUnifier:
http://code.google.com/p/mac-dictionary-kit/issues/detail?id=4

There are two patched version of the program in the comments. I tried the first one and it worked like a charm :)

If it doesn’t work for you, just try the second patch.

It seems this is all Dictionary needs to “reboot” itself and find your new dictionary and its name.

This worked for me. Maybe it will work for you.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

One question though. When I open the Info.plist, it opens on TextEdit which is fine, but when I change the dictionary names, it doesn’t seem to register on the CFBundleDisplay name.

Any advice?

]]> By: MacHovis http://davidtse916.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/adding-dictionaries-to-the-built-in-dictionary-application-in-leopard/#comment-2145 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:00:10 +0000 http://davidtse916.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/adding-dictionaries-to-the-built-in-dictionary-application-in-leopard/#comment-2145 I had the same problem on my first attempt. However, as mentioned elsewhere in this chain, the Dictionay ID value must not contain spaces.

After eliminating the spaces from the Dictionary ID field value, the DictUnifier utility worked OK and the dictionary was added.

The name in the info.plist had to be edited as described in the article.
