If you are German an want to learn English (or vice versa) you can download the monthly vocabulary list provided by the German magazine Spotlight-Online.
The KVocTrain distribution contains an executable called spotlight2kvtml to transform those lists in kvtml format. The original files come as Windows® Word DOC-files so you have to save them as ANSI-TXT files before starting conversion. StarOffice or kword can do this job.
spotlight2kvtml needs the 3 parameters
filename
, month
and
year
and produces a file in the same folder
with the same name and the extension kvtml
:
spotlight2kvtml
0199.txt 01 99
Thanks to a contribution by Andreas Neuper you can download files from Langenscheidt. This is a german site and contains files in several languages. This distribution contains his perl script langen2kvtml to transform those lists in kvtml format.
langen2kvtml needs only the original filename as parameter and tries to extract as much information as possible from the source file. For example is keeps the lesson names, conjugations and articles.
It produces a file in the same folder
with the same name and the extension kvtml
.
Files in kvtml format are available at:
Dictionaries in ascii-format are for example available at:
ftp.gwdg.d e/pub/misc/dictionary/english/words.gz (approx. 1035 kB)
Dictionaries from the
*Quick project in
“CSV” format but encoded in “UTF8” so you should have
all characters rendered correctly. The files are available from its
download section.
They are in compressed Windows® .EXE
format so you have
to use unzip to extract the files.
If you know another source please tell me to include it here.
