Import Touchpal dictionary to newer version

[Curb71]

I've used touchpal 2.0 for along time and today got version 3.6. I've always backed up my dictionary. Today I noticed that the old dictionary file is different besides the fact that the file is named something different. I renamed it and that did not help. Anyone know how to get my old dictionary properly imported to work with the new version of touchpal?

edit: oops. just realized I posted this in the CDMA thread.

Try creating a few words and look at the format on it.

Have you tried this?

Upgrade from V2 custom word dictionary :
1. Copy your V2 custom word dictionary (e.g., "eng_user_dic") to the V3 installation folder "Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces\<language>".
2. Rename it to "user_dic".
3. Reboot your device.

good idea. I did this and noticed that every word has the number "4" after it. Odd, but I guess I can simply add a 4 after every word on my dictionary and it might work.

thanks! I tried this and it did not work for me. since my new dictionary has a "4" after each word for some reason and my old one did not it didnt work. When I would add words on 3.5 to my old large dictionary and go back and look to see how it ended up they would be weird looking squares and spaces and shapes.

Well, I did it. I'm sure there was an easier way but I moved my old dictionary to my computer and manually added a 4 after each word which took along time but I put that file back on my phone and touchpal 3.5 now knows my old dictionary.
Except I added a new word. Lets say the word is "picture". It looks like this on my txt file.

EDIT: After messing with it it looks like its working now. it somehow put itsself in alphabetical order and after a few soft resets looks like we're all good. yay!
