Kiwix uses the [http://openzim.org ZIM format]. We release our own ZIM files which are available to download in the Kiwix library (in the software). You can also use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book Book creator] on Wikipedia to generate your own ZIM files.</translate>}}

How can I build by myself a ZIM file?</translate>|answer=<translate><!--T:8-->

To export articles from Wikipedia please go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book this page]. For any other use case, this is unfortunately still too complicated. Please read [https://openzim.org/Build_your_ZIM_file this page] if you want to have a few information.</translate>}}

I have downloaded a ZIP file (pre-indexed ZIM file) but I can't unpack it, the file seems to be corruped. What should I do?</translate>|answer=<translate><!--T:17-->

Use a unpacking software which supports the ZIP64 format (ZIP format for big files), like for example [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip]. If this still fails, then your file was corrupted during the transfer, please restart the download using Bittorrent, then it will work.</translate>}}
