I have some Babylon's bdc files and want to convert them to bgl files so I can use them in my GoldenDic. Do you have any idea to do so?
Thank you!

I googled for this and found that some people say that pyglossary works for it, while others claim that pyglossary doesn't work for it. Have you tried pyglossary yet (and/or do you have the technical expertise to try it)?

I have not tried it before. I've just downloaded it but not found an executable file to install it. I'm using Windows by the way.

I tried it and... it would seem that the latest version does not support BDC as an input format.
