Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
slob is a format used by dictionary app aard2, which is used by many other ebook reader apps.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please include slob format to release along with the existing xml, rdf options

Describe alternatives you've considered
Someone has converted and made available an older version here: https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Word-dictionaries-(Wordnet-and-Freedict)#open-english-wordnet
Would prefer to download latest version from official source instead.

I could certainly see the value in supporting this. It appears that there is already an export of the 2022 release in Slob, so is the request just to use your converter and release this as part of our release process?

yes.
But I don't have a convertor. Just discovered the wiki when looking for FOSS android dictionary.

Perhaps you would be better off asking the Aard2 project if they would be willing to update their releases following ours, but feel free to tag me if you think there is a way I can help.
