• Get a copy from AnySoftKeyboard user words (in app settings there's an option to open its location)
• You need Python and Java JRE.

from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime

file = Path("UserWords.xml")


def xml_to_aosp(lang, locale, description, date, version):
    tree = etree.parse(file)
    root = tree.getroot()
    aosp_wordlist = f"dictionary=anysoftkeyboard:{lang},locale={locale},description={description},date={date},version={version}\n"
    elements = root.findall(".//pref/pref")
    for element in elements:
        freq = element.find("value[@freq]").get("freq")
        word = element.find("value[@word]").get("word")
        aosp_wordlist += " word={},f={}\n".format(word, freq)

    Path(f"aosp_wordlist_{lang}.txt").write_text(aosp_wordlist)

xml_to_aosp("ar", "ar", "Arabic wordlist", datetime.now().timestamp(), 18)

• Download dicttool_aosp.jar and use it to build a dict file from words list.

java -jar dicttool_aosp.jar makedict -s aosp_wordlist_ar.txt -d anysoftkey_words.dict
