How do I convert a dictionary in sqlite3, and I want to convert it to something usable by StarDict. Is that possible?

I don't know if my question makes any sense, and it's okay to say "No, sorry, it doesn't work like that".

I have a (pirated) dictionary that has the words and definitions in an sqlite3 database format.

I want to convert this into something that can be used by either Fora, GoldenDict, or StarDict.

Fora can use StarDict, DSL, XDXF, Dictd, and TSV/Plain dictionaries

GoldenDict can use Babylon .BGL, StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn, Dictd .index/.dict(.dz), and ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files.

I've found lots of software that goes the other way - it'll take a dictionary and dump it into an sqlite database. But it doesn't go the otherway.

Is what I'm asking for coherent, does it make any sense?

(I'd prefer Windows, or FreeBSD, but at this point I'd install Linux to get it done).
