Hi!

If you use KBabel translation database, please, read this.

Stephan Kulow was so kind to port the translation database to Berkeley
Database version 4. The key reason is dropping of support for DB II in
current distros.

The code is in HEAD and BRANCH now.

The important notice: The code does not support DB II anymore. Also, it
cannot handle your old translation database. Therefore, it will ask you
at the first start to create a new one - as a side effect, it will REMOVE
the old database (maybe we should change that to rename the files
instead).

You should backup your files in
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kbabeldict/modules/dbsearchengine/ before answering
Yes to create a new database.

I will try to write support for importing the old database and I'll
inform you about the progress.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Stanislav
