Cannot open one json dictionary

[yumeo-ch]

Hello, Thank you for the job first of all. There is a dictionary I want to open : https://github.com/VahidN/EnglishToPersianDictionaries/blob/master/Dictionaries/subtitles/B.json But it doesn't work with dikt, how can I open this JSON file? Pyglossary doesn't read json files and I couldn't find another app capable of doing so.

That's a different json format. Can you open a discussion here? https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/discussions

Hi, thanks for the interest. The problem is due to DIKT expecting a different structure of JSON. In your case you have this:

{
  "Group": "B",
  "Entries": 21736,
  "Words": [
    {
      "EnglishWord": "b  cardinal richelieu",
      "Meanings": [
        "ب کاردینال ریچلیو"
      ]
    },
    {
      "EnglishWord": "b  franklin roosevelt",
      "Meanings": [
        "ب فرانکلین روزولت"
      ]
    }
  ]

while the app expects a simpler structure with keys being words and values being translations, e.g.:

 {
  "b  cardinal richelieu": "ب کاردینال ریچلیو",
  "b  Franklin roosevelt": "ب فرانکلین روزولت"
}

Here's an example JS to transform the structure you shared to JSON that is supported by DIKT:

function transformJson(input) {
  const output = {};

  input.Words.forEach(word => {
    const englishWord = word.EnglishWord;
    const meanings = word.Meanings.join('\n');
    output[englishWord] = meanings;
  });

  return output;
}

const inputJson = {
  "Group": "B",
  "Entries": 21736,
  "Words": [
    {
      "EnglishWord": "b  cardinal richelieu",
      "Meanings": [
        "ب کاردینال ریچلیو"
      ]
    },
    {
      "EnglishWord": "b  franklin roosevelt",
      "Meanings": [
        "ب فرانکلین روزولت"
      ]
    }
  ]
};

const transformedJson = transformJson(inputJson);
console.log(transformedJson);

Hey, thank you for great explanation, but doing so doesn't resolve the issue, I still have error when importing the JSON file with your structure (I even have error when I copy paste your example code in a bank file and save it as test.json).

Please share the file with the supported structure for me to look at

Sure, here you are

[maxim-saplin]

Apparently the file you provided is not JSON (but rather some piece of JS) and can not work in principle, no matter the structure which is supported by the app.

I see, do you know any solution or any way to "convrrt" them ? I guess it shouldn't be that hard. I would open a discussion on pyglossary as well.
