EDIT from @BoboTiG:

Important

Both all-to-*, dictionaries can be found on the Reader Dict project 💝


I do have an old all-to-English stardict taken from Wiktionary, but I can't find where I got it any more.
It is great to have one dictionary that just works, whatever language I happen to meet.

I think you will have more chances to get such a dict with Vuizur/Wiktionary-Dictionaries#11 as this feature is out of scope for our project.

A pity, but I understand. Let's hope Vuizur is willing to create it.

OOC, what would be the output of such a dictionary? For instance, a same word can have multiple english definitions for different langs, how would it be displayed?

DictInfo has two ways - I don't like the way in which the 2024 dictionary dumps it all together, but the way the 2023 dictionary does it is fine.

(Unfortunately those dictionaries themselves are quite crude.)

Note: I finally had time to try something on Reader Dict.

👏
I didn't even know about that site!
(So this issue is not as closed as it seems, it seems.. 👅)
