Dictionary conversion


I completed this project before starting out in data science, aiming to help my fellow translators compiling their own dictionaries and glossaries.

Glossaries are often compiled for a specific client or projects, usually with special software. Usually, we keep adding terms to the glossary as the project develops. As I often had to do oral interpretation at industrial sites or client offices, I needed quick access to my glossaries from a smartphone. So I would keep the original glossary in MS Excel and would periodically convert it into the DSL (Dictionary Specification Language) format supported by both desktop and mobile applications.

For details, please see the Manual. Source code (Python) can be downloaded from GitHub
