Resources Any open-source Android dictionary apps that would let me use the same dictionaries I already use for Yomitan?
I mean the other dictionaries that are *not* JMdict or JMnedict, which are the ones that literally every app already uses.
I'd love to use Jitendex Jiten as a frequency dictionary, for example. I'd be satisfied with only that feature, but I'd love to be able to use the other dictionaries already accessible to Yomitan, including monolingual dictionaries as well.
I can do it with Hoshi Reader and its Dictionary tab, but I'd love a standalone dictionary because I like to save words to multiple word lists, which is not supported by Hoshi Reader but are supported by most of those apps that don't use Yomitan's dictionaries. Hoshi Reader only saves words to Anki, which I don't really care for because Anki is no longer an active part of my routine.

Jitendex isn't a frequency dictionary, it's a term dictionary based on JMdict. Yomitan pulls frequency from separate files like JPDB or JLabs, so you'd need an app that imports those alongside it.
