What it is

IME WL Converter (深蓝词库转换) is an open-source input method dictionary conversion tool that transforms word lists between 20+ Chinese input methods (QQ Pinyin, Rime, Microsoft Pinyin, Baidu Pinyin, etc.). It supports batch conversion via drag-and-drop, command-line mode, and runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS via .NET. Monorepo structure: src/IME WL Converter Win/ contains the Windows Forms GUI with 20+ configuration forms under Forms/ directory; src/ImeWlConverterCmd/ is the CLI entry point; core conversion logic likely shared via src/Directory.Build.props build configuration. Build system uses Makefile and .NET SDK.

Start here

Open these first:

• src/ImeWlConverter.Abstractions/Contracts/IConversionPipeline.cs — Core abstraction defining the conversion workflow that all format plugins must implement.
• src/ImeWlConverter.Abstractions/Contracts/IFormatImporter.cs — Interface for importing IME dictionaries; every format handler must implement this contract.
• src/ImeWlConverter.Abstractions/Contracts/IFormatExporter.cs — Interface for exporting converted dictionaries; defines the output contract for all format plugins.
• src/IME WL Converter Win/Forms/MainForm.cs — Primary WinForms UI entry point orchestrating user interactions and file conversions.
• src/IME WL Converter Win/Program.cs — Application entry point handling both GUI and command-line initialization.

dotnet src/ImeWlConverterCmd/bin/Debug/net10.0/ImeWlConverterCmd.dll --help

Daily commands:

Key cautions & unknowns

• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 89% of recent commits
• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• .NET 10.0+ is required (verify with dotnet --version before cloning). The project uses Fody IL weaving (FodyWeavers.xml), which may require additional setup if modifying assemblies. Windows Forms designer…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
