What is a .PQB file?
The .PQB file extension stands for a Pleco Chinese Dictionary Backup File. This type of file is specifically used with the Pleco Chinese Dictionary app, which is a tool for reading Chinese documents, looking up words in a dictionary, and studying with flashcards. The app is designed for devices running iOS, such as iPhones and iPads.
A .PQB file contains a backup of either a user-created dictionary or a flashcard database. This means it can store personalized vocabulary lists or flashcards that you have added to the app. Additionally, these files might include data from well-known dictionaries like Webster's English or the Oxford English Dictionary if you have those features integrated into your Pleco app.
To open a .PQB file, you need to use the Pleco Chinese Dictionary app, version 3 or newer. Here’s how you can use a .PQB file to create or restore a user dictionary within the app: 1. Open the Pleco app on your iOS device. 2. Go to the "SETTINGS" tab and select "Manage Dictionaries." 3. Choose "Add User." 4. Find and select the .PQB file you want to use.
It's important to note that .PQB files are similar to .PQB-BACKUP files, which are used by older versions of the Pleco app. If you are using a .PQB file to backup or restore flashcard data, make sure to use the "Backup Database" and "Restore Database" options in the app. Avoid using the "Export Cards" and "Import Cards" options for these operations, as they are meant for different purposes.
