Dictionaries

Dictionaries are made from extracted wiktionary content. Their quality depends on wiktionary coverage and wiktextract quality of extracted fields.

Dictionary types

These are the different types of dictionaries that can be made with wty (optional parameters have been omitted):

$ wty main              <SOURCE> <TARGET>
$ wty ipa               <SOURCE> <TARGET>
$ wty ipa-merged        <TARGET>
$ wty glossary          <SOURCE> <TARGET>
$ wty glossary-extended <EDITION> <SOURCE> <TARGET>

• main: main dictionaries, with etymology, examples etc. These have good coverage, but tend to be verbose.
• glossary: short dictionaries made from Wiktionary translations section.
• ipa: pronunciation dictionaries.

Reminder: roughly, the source is the language we learn. The target is the language we know.

Dictionary type	Edition(s)	Source	Target
main	TARGET	source	TARGET
ipa	TARGET	source	TARGET
ipa-merged	ALL	X	target
glossary	SOURCE	SOURCE	target
glossary-extended	edition	source	target

Identical cells in a row are highlighted in bold UPPERCASE

Paths

When building locally, dictionaries are usually stored in: ROOT/dict/SOURCE/TARGET/wty-SOURCE-TARGET.zip.

The only exception being ipa-merged, since it has no source.
