Building

• Clone this git repository
• Download Apples Dictionary Development Kit (The packages is called "Auxiliary Tools for Xcode")
• Copy the "Dictionary Development Kit" somewhere and adjust the Makefile accordingly
• make
• Optional make validate (you need to install jing for that)
• make install

Caveats

• Only the first entry is displayed in pop-up mode instead of all (e.g. "boken" shows only "beech") but you will see all of them in dictionary.app.

Thanks to

Philipp Brauner who build an English <-> German dictionary which I have used now for a couple of years. His plugin gave me the idea to build an English <-> Swedish one. You can find his English <-> German one here.
