I may not be mercador but until mercador responds, let me ask:

are there any preliminary plans to increase the dictionary function of the touch?

Esp. seeing as it is to be, ultimately, a fairly international (or at least west european) marketed product,
will kobo be including something comparable to sony's multiple translation dictionaries?

will kobo further, be including translation dictionaries (or definition dictionaries) for languages beyond western europe? (russian, chinese, hindi, etc).

will kobo include these dictionaries on the standard device or will it be segregated by markets? (germany gets a german translation and/or definition dictionary, france, and maybe quebec, get french...).

Will kobo open up the format for the encrypted dictionary database and program or contract with publishers or authors, to allow either a kobo contracted commercial dictionary for sale in the kobo store that will run as an app or to allow individuals to create their own free dictionaries, based on need?
