most recent version: 01.06.2023.
- 104'134 entries thai-english

- thai pronounciation for most words, eg. ม้า [máa] n. classifier: ตัว

the dictioanry is bilangual: Thai-English
there is a pronounciation search. eg .maa (the sound of the thai word) would find มา, ม้า and หมา. almost every word has a pronuciation entry.
this project converts the Volubilis Thai-English dictionary (released as spread sheat or pdf) to a standart dictionary format.
Readable through Stardict (win/linux), Mdict (android/ios), GoldenDict (win/linux/android), Dictbox (android 4-9)
Install / use:
to be able to use the dictionary files, you need to download one of the dictionary apps from above and than download the compiled stardict or mdict files (.mdx for Mdict, stardict for all others) and after extracting, copy them into the dictionary folder.
for developers:
If you want to create your own version of the dictionary files, i uploaded the converter scipt. it is written python and converts the spreadsheat into a tab separated txt file (one entry, one line). it also adds a reverse translation from English to Thai and a pronounciation search. eg .maa (the sound of the thai word) would find มา, ม้า and หมา
the script was written without any thought of publishing it (bad coding, and lots of manual intervention, so just: for research purposes), but because i use the final product myself a lot, i thought i make it available.
