NAME
ktrans – format of ktrans dictionaries

DESCRIPTION
Ktrans uses two plain text file formats for lookup dictionaries, one each for implicit and explicit matches. Both are stored within /lib/ktrans.

MAP
The .map files provide the implicit matching information. The file is a sequence of lines, each of which is a single character sequence mapping. Each mapping is a sequence of one or more input keys and output keys, separated by a single tab character.

The following .map files correspond to the following conversions:
hira.map
Japanese Hiragana
kata.map
Japanese Katakana
judou.map
Chinese punctuation
hangul.map
Korean Hangul
telex.map
Vietnamese Telex

DICT
The .dict files provide the explicit matching information. The file is a sequence of lines, each of which is comprised of an input sequence, followed by a tab, followed by the list of all candidates. Each candidate is separated by a single space character.

The following .dict files correspond to the following conversions:
kanji.dict
Japanese Kanji
wubi.dict
Chinese Wubizixing (default)
pinyin.dict
Chinese Pinyin
