I bought a Oxford-Duden German-English dicitonary, which can be set as default dictionary, but quick lookup still doesn't work. I had high hopes for it as I would like to improve my German vocabulary...
I use the Merriam-Webster's English-Spanish dictionary bought directly on Amazon and the quick lookup works with English text - I get the translation as pop-up footnote. I haven't tried the Spanish-English edition.
