French dictionary on Kindle

Here is a little howto for converting Stardict dictionaries to a mobi format for Kindle

A great source for dictionaries is this site http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/index.php

To convert the Stardict Dictionary to a txt file you can use Stardict Editor on http://stardict.sourceforge.net/other.php 
or pyglossary, which will work on Linux or Windows.

Once you have this file, lets name it dictionary.txt, you need tab2opf.py to convert this file into opf format.
Just use the command tab2opf dictionary.txt
The tab2opf programm is a python script, so you need python installed.

In this opf file you have to edit the import and output language specific to your dictionary.

For the last part you need mobigen from mobipocket.com.
Extract it and use the command mobipocket dictionary.opf

In the end you get a mobi file, which you can use on your Kindle.
