Bidirectional dictionary format that works with GoldenDict-ng?

[michaelbeijer]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find a dictionary format that works with Goldendict, but which allows bidirectional dictionaries. I am looking for a text-based format, so I can edit the files in a text editor without having to compile them every time I change something.

So stuff like:

Dutch: betalingsrisico; risico van wanbetaling
English: payment risk; risk of non-payment; default risk 

Notes: 
• The risk of non-payment is the possibility that a customer will not pay for goods or services provided.
• Default risk is the risk a lender takes that a borrower will not make the required payments on a debt obligation, such as a loan, a bond, or a credit card. 

There must be a format that allows me to add both directions in the same file?

Otherwise, I need to maintain two separate dictionaries, like this:

Dictionary 1:
Dutch = English
betalingsrisico; risico van wanbetaling = payment risk; risk of non-payment; default risk

Dictionary 2:
English = Dutch
payment risk; risk of non-payment; default risk = betalingsrisico; risico van wanbetaling

If this is what you mean. Just save the file in .dsl format.
Note: code page for different lang may be complicate. I use UTF-8.
