What format does that use for the copy it downloads? > So the solution is already there. WHen it comes to downloading a copy of Wiktionary, it makes a big difference what format you use. The smallest format that can be searched quickly enough is the best format. The .zim file for Wiktionary from June 2018 (the newest version available a year ago) is 4408344149. In download.kiwix.org I see that the most complete version is 5.5 G. How does the format dico uses compare with that? It would be best to compare the two formats using roughly the same date, as it surely grows with time. If they are fairly similar then they are equally good. But we should compare. Can you compare them? -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
