Supported dictionaries..
Babylon		(*.dic, *.bgl)
Plaintext	(*.dic.txt) with the following format: "expression [Tab] definition"
StarDict	(*.dict, *.dict.dz (*.ifo))
Dictd		(*.dict, *.dict.dz (*.index))

Plaintext (*.dic.txt) dictionaries..
They can be encoded in utf-8 or iso-8859-1.
Is the file iso-8859-1 encoded enrol it under "Expression" in the Dictionaries Table,
to find under Settings->Dictionaries.
Is the file utf-8 encoded leave the columns Definition and "Expression" empty.

(*.bgl) dictionaries..
they have to be converted with the program "dictconv" to plain text, i.e.:
	dictconv -o Babylon_English_French.dic Babylon_English_French.BGL
	mv Babylon_English_French.dic Babylon_English_French.dic.txt
Look that the *.dic file is saved in Unicode (utf-8) file format in the case you need a codec:
	On my system to find under:
		KWrite->Settings->Configure Editor->Open/Save->File Format->Encoding
The so created *.dic.txt file can now be used.
Remove the $123456$ expressions with the following command:
	sed -e "s/\$[0-9][0-9]*\$\t/\t/g" < input.dic > output.dic
