How to create the dictionaries for the main sections

Method 1

The easiest way to create the new dictionaries is use a personal computer and spreadsheet-template (download ruplus.xls for MS Office or ruplus.ods for OpenOffice).

I draw your attention that must necessarily be allowed to run macros.

Method 2

You can create your own XML-dictionary file in any text editor.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<words>
<word
  russian_word="они"
  transcription_word="oni"
  part_of_speech="pronoun"
  english_word="they"
  russian_phrase="что [они] делают?"
  english_phrase="what are [they] doing?"
  transcription_phrase="chto oni delayut"/>
<word
  russian_word="отец"
  transcription_word="otets"
  part_of_speech="noun"
  english_word="father"
  russian_phrase="Он был для них как [отец]."
  english_phrase="He was like a [father] to them."
  transcription_phrase="on byl dlya nikh kak otets"/>
<word
  russian_word="начать"
  transcription_word="nachat'"
  part_of_speech="verb"
  english_word="begin"
  russian_phrase="я не знаю, как [начать]"
  english_phrase="I don't know how to [begin]"
  transcription_phrase="ya ne znayu kak nachat'"/>
</words>
								

You must use UTF-8 encoding.
