Breakdown of the File Components Stardict Drae 2.4 2 Bz2 Bz2 24 drae-24-2
It sounds like you’re asking to create or extract a StarDict dictionary file from something named drae (likely the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española), with a version or part 24_2, and using bz2 compression.
Here’s how to handle a StarDict .bz2 file — assuming you have either:
drae-24-2.bz2(a single compressed file), ordrae-24-2.tar.bz2(a tarball containing.dictand.idxfiles)
Step 6 – If .idx is missing: create from a .tab file
Sometimes dictionaries are distributed as “StarDict source format” – a single .tab file (headword \t definition). Convert using stardict-editor:
stardict-editor -c dare.tab -o dare
That generates .ifo, .idx, and .dict. Then compress .dict with bzip2 if desired.
