Hey!

Finally got around to testing this out yesterday, and I absolutely love it! However, I'm not sure how to install some of the dictionaries in the readme and was hoping I could get some help. Specifically, I'm wondering about GCIDE and the Online Etymology Dictionary.

  • For GCIDE it says "with conversion from dict to StarDict", but it doesn't say anything about how you do this or provide you any hint as to where you may find out. How to I convert from dict to StarDict?

  • For the Etymonline, it only links to a GitHub repo, but doesn't explain to use this with Lexic at all. It looks like a python program. I thought I needed a dictionary file somehow? What do I do with this?

The changes to the readme in #14 were of great help (especially regarding where to put your dictionaries), but they don't seem to explain how to deal with the dictionaries that aren't available from huzheng.org.

Thanks!

I've (finally) added a help function which should make this a bit clearer, M-x lexic-dictionary-help.
