9. Compressed dictionaries

NOTE: the following doesn't apply to Babylon Translator's dictionaries.

Now wordtrans can search in dictionaries compressed with gzip, allowing you saving a little space.

The file you can compress is the main dictionary (i2e.dict or de-en).

The personal dictionary (where you save new translations) shouldn't be compressed. If it is, wordtrans would search in it correctly, but when you add a new translation wordtrans won't check if it is compressed or not, supposing it is not compressed. So if you add new translations to your (compressed) personal dictionary you will only get a corrupt file.
