+# Dictionary imports
+
+This folder contains import scripts for various dictionaries. Publicly
+available dictionaries can automatically be downloaded, others have to be
+user-provided. **None of the dictionary files will be hosted in this
+repository. All dictionaries keep their original license.**
+
+To generate a Yomikun dictionary, run `make` in one of these subdirectories.
+This command will output one or more .dict.sql files, which can be imported
+manually, or included in the default dictionary database file by editing [the
+dictionary makefile](../db/makefile).
