Hi Bogdan,

 Sorry for the delay in responding to this. If you use something like
the branch you linked to as a template, then all you need to do to
generate the database is replace the "free_ebook.txt" file with a
suitably licensed ebook (e.g. from Project Gutenberg) in your language
and then run "qmake && make lang_db_<code>" inside your plugin src
directory (where <code> is your language code, assuming you updated
the .pro file to use your own language code).

 Hope that helps!

Cheers,
 Mike.
