Converts a JSON file taken from sozluk.gov.tr or ogun/guncel-turkce-sozluk and outputs two files in the DICT format.
positional arguments:
FILE the JSON file to process
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--name NAME specify the name of the dictionary
--out FILE specify name of the produced .index and .dict files
--start START start importing from the entry with the specified index

If you want all the dictionary data, you can just download pre-generated files from the releases page.
Currently definitions, example sentences, and properties are imported. Maybe there are other useful info to import?
