Tab separated values to DSL Dictionary format converter for Goldendict

This python program converts a tab separated text file (which can be created using Libreoffice Calc) save as csv, choose {tab} separator

Requirement:

Python3
tsv2dsl.py (download from the file list)
data file (see below)

Let's try numbers to english words, as an example
Save this as "numbers.txt" (utf-8 is recommended) in the same folder/directory where tsv2dsl.py is present.

#NAME "My Numbers Dictionary"
#INDEX_LANGUAGE "numbers"
#CONTENTS_LANGUAGE "english"

1   n.  one
2   n.  two
3   n.  three   
4   n.  four
5   n.  five

Run

python3 tsv2dsl.py numbers.txt

We'll see this output:

bash-4.2$ python3 tsv2dsl.py numbers.txt 


Info : Opening: numbers.txt
Info : Dictionary Name  : My Numbers Dictionary
Info : Index Language   : Numbers
Info : Contents Language: English
Info : Creating: numbers.txt_Nu-En_2013-12-28.dsl

let's see the output of numbers.txt_Nu-En_2013-12-28.dsl

bash-4.2$ cat numbers.txt_Nu-En_2013-12-28.dsl
#NAME "My Numbers Dictionary [Nu-En]"
#INDEX_LANGUAGE "Numbers"
#CONTENTS_LANGUAGE "English"

1
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]one[/trn][/m]
2
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]two[/trn][/m]
3
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]three[/trn][/m]
4
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]four[/trn][/m]
5
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]five[/trn][/m]

Once we add this dsl dictionary folder path to goldendict, this is how it would look:

![] (http://s14.postimg.org/948cqfq8h/Screenshot_from_2013_12_28_13_10_42.png)

One more example? Why not!

#NAME "My Fruits Dictionary"
#INDEX_LANGUAGE "alphabets"
#CONTENTS_LANGUAGE "fruits"

a   n.  apple
b   n.  banana
p   n.  pear
j   n.  jackfruit
b   n.  berry
b   n.  blueberry
g   n.  grape
g   n.  guava
r   n.  raspberry
c   n.  cranberry
p   n.  pineapple
s   n.  strawberry

it can be observed that p,g has 2 fruits, b has 3 fruits which tsv2dsl handles beautifully.

Ok save it as "fruits.txt" in the same directory where tsv2dsl exists.

let's make the fruits dsl file for goldendict:

bash-4.2$ python3 tsv2dsl.py fruits.txt

We'll get:

Info : Opening: fruits.txt
Info : Dictionary Name  : My Fruits Dictionary
Info : Index Language   : Alphabets
Info : Contents Language: Fruits
Info : Creating: fruits.txt_Al-Fr_2013-12-28.dsl

and let's see the dsl file

bash-4.2$ cat fruits.txt_Al-Fr_2013-12-28.dsl
#NAME "My Fruits Dictionary [Al-Fr]"
#INDEX_LANGUAGE "Alphabets"
#CONTENTS_LANGUAGE "Fruits"

a
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]apple[/trn][/m]
b
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]banana[/trn][/m]
    [m2][b]2.[/b] [trn]berry[/trn][/m]
    [m2][b]3.[/b] [trn]blueberry[/trn][/m]
c
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]cranberry[/trn][/m]
g
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]grape[/trn][/m]
    [m2][b]2.[/b] [trn]guava[/trn][/m]
j
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]jackfruit[/trn][/m]
p
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]pear[/trn][/m]
    [m2][b]2.[/b] [trn]pineapple[/trn][/m]
r
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]raspberry[/trn][/m]
s
    [m1][p]n.[/p][/m]
    [m2][b]1.[/b] [trn]strawberry[/trn][/m]

as we can see b, p, and g are not repeated but combined into group.

here's how it would look in goldendict:

with the letter 'b'
![] (http://s28.postimg.org/fnpre5o25/Screenshot_from_2013_12_28_13_20_23.png)

and with letter 'p'
![] (http://s27.postimg.org/tn5asynsz/Screenshot_from_2013_12_28_13_20_16.png)

Don't forget to rescan in Goldendict after setting the directory.
