Dictionaries for Yomitan

Importing a dictionary

1. Get a dictionary file in Yomitan’s format (a .zip you do not extract).

2. Yomitan settings → Dictionaries → Configure installed and enabled dictionaries → Import.

3. Drag the priority order: bilingual HU→EN on top while you’re a beginner; monolingual above it once you switch (B2+).

The honest state of Hungarian dictionaries

This is Yomitan’s weakest point for Hungarian — and this project’s flagship goal:

• No polished HU→EN package exists comparable to what Japanese learners get with JMdict.
• Deinflection is the deeper gap: Yomitan needs Hungarian language transforms to resolve házamban → ház or elmentem → elmegy. Without them, lookups only hit uninflected forms.

What we’re building

1. A Wiktionary → Yomitan converter producing a free HU→EN dictionary (Wiktionary’s Hungarian entries are unusually rich, with full inflection tables).
2. A Hungarian deinflection ruleset for Yomitan: cases, possessive endings, plurals, verb conjugation including definite forms, preverb handling.
3. A frequency dictionary from subtitle corpora, so Yomitan can show you how common every word is.

Releases will land on GitHub and be announced here. Until then: keep Wiktionary open in a side tab — its inflection tables answer the “what stem is this?” question Yomitan can’t yet.
