Revision as of 09:24, 1 September 2020
StarDict is a program for reading language dictionaries (AKA glossaries), written by Hu Zheng. It was intended as a successor to StarDic. Its dictionary format consists of an info file with extension ".ifo", a data file with the extension ".dict" (commonly compressed with Dzip to become ".dict.dz"), an index file with extension ".idx", and a synonyms file with the extension ".syn". This is not to be confused with the Dictd format, also uses a data file with a ".dict" or ".dict.dz" extension, but has nothing else besides an index file, for which it uses the extension ".index" instead of ".idx".
The latest StarDict version, as of 2020, is from 2015.[2]

Identification
.ifo files begin with either StarDict's treedict ifo file or StarDict's dict ifo file.[3] The others do not seem to have anything that could serve as a definite identifier.
StarDict's .dict files can be distinguished from Dictd's by that only the latter are completely plaintext files.
