  Description: convert a dictionary file type in another dictionary file type
  Dictconv is a small program to convert a dictionay file type in another
  dictionary file type. Currently, it supports converting from Babylon
  glossaries, Freedict dictionaries, Sdictionary dictionaries and Stardict
  dictionaries to DICT dictionaries, plain text dictionaries and StarDict
  dictionaries. More file types will be added in new versions.

It seems to say it can do the format conversion you're requesting, if I'm
understanding correctly.
