yomitan (default)

Produces a zip archive importable into yomitan. Downloads are available here.

mdict

Produces a *.mdx file and a *.mdd file holding the css, that can be imported as is. It is written with pangloss, so no external MDict conversion tool is needed. Downloads are available here as a zip with both files: unzip it and import the folder.

stardict

Produces a folder with *.ifo, *.dict etc. files that can be directly imported.
