+ <P>As main file format KDEs kvtml format is used (a XML format), so you can easily
edit and create your own files with <A HREF="http://edu.kde.org/parley/">Parley</A>
or <A HREF="http://edu.kde.org/kwordquiz/">KwordQuiz</A>. Parley
and KwordQuiz run also under windows (might be that not all
sufficent), please see the
<A HREF="http://windows.kde.org/">The KDE on Windows Project</A>.</P>
+ <P>The program <A HREF="http://peterandlinda.com/wordquiz/">WordQuiz</A>
+ from Peter B. Hedlund also creates kvtml files. It works under
+ Windows and Mac OS X. It might be easier to
+ <A HREF="http://peterandlinda.com/wordquiz/download/">install</A>
+ than the KDE programs under Windows. It can be used to create your own
+ kvtml files.</P>
+
<P>Store your own kvtml files under MyDocs/Querymee in your N900 so
Querymee finds it and offers it in the pull-down menu. You can
- store the file anywhere, then use the “open dictionary“ dialog
- from the menu to use it. Please make the files public available,

<P>You can also use ready made kvtml files from the KDE project,

time you open it the list will be empty, just click the button
“update list” and Querymee will download the freshest list from
the internet. Unfortunately some kvtml files are uploaded in

+
+ <P>Querymee (starting from version 0.1.2) is able to open vocabulary files from
+ <A HREF="http://www.vokabeln.de/v1/funktionen.htm">Langenscheidt
+ Vokabeltrainer Version 1</A>. More than 150 ready made files are
+ listed on the <A HREF="http://www.vokabeln.de/v1/download.htm">download page.</A>
+ The files are zipped, so extract the .voc files first and store them under
+ MyDocs/Querymee in your N900 so Querymee finds it and offers it in the pull-down menu.
+ You can store the file anywhere, then use the “open dictionary“ dialogue
+ from the menu to open it.</P>
+
+ <P><H2><A name="TSV">.tsv files</A></H2></P>
+
+ <P>Querymee (starting from version 0.1.2) is able to open "Tab Separated Values"
+ vocabulary files. An example .tsv file can be found in the sources under
+ <A HREF="http://gitorious.org/querymee/querymee/blobs/master/doc/example.tsv">doc/example.tsv</A>.</P>
+
+ <P>The example, where <font color="red"><TAB></font> denotes a TAB character (TAB-Key),
+ do not surround the values with any text indicating character like " or ':</P>
+
+ <pre>
+ Expression<font color="red"><TAB></font>Translation 1<font color="red"><TAB></font>Translation 2
+ ajaa<font color="red"><TAB></font>fahren<font color="red"><TAB></font>to drive
+ aloittaa<font color="red"><TAB></font>anfangen<font color="red"><TAB></font>to start
+ </pre>
+
+ <P>You can write such files with any text editor, but it's much easier with a spreadsheet application:
+ <ul>
+ <li><A HREF="http://www.openoffice.org/product/calc.html">OpenOffice.org Calc</A>:
+ <A HREF="http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2720&p=11987">
+ saving calc files as tab delimited</A><br>In short: To save it, you Save As a "Text CSV", and when asked for a Field Delimiter, select {Tab}, instead of ",".</li>
+ <li>Microsoft Office Excel:
+ <A HREF="http://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2008/08/03/convert-an-excel-spreadsheet-to-a-tab-delimited-text-file/">

+ </ul>
+ Just make sure you save your file with the file ending .tsv before you transfer it to the N900.
+ Store your own tsv files under MyDocs/Querymee in your N900 so
+ Querymee finds it and offers it in the pull-down menu. You can
