French dictionary on EB1150 ?

Wordcrasher · 03-08-2009, 06:59 AM

Onr of the thing I really love of my EB is the online English dictionary.
Now I'd like to give a try to read French ebooks in original language too, so I wonder if it's possible to load a French dictionary in place of the Webster and have it working the same way. Does anybody know if this is possible ?

It isn't. I emailed them with this very question when I first got my eBookwise. I never need a dictionary when I read in English, but I do when I read in French. No dice!

Oh, too bad. I still love my EB anyway ;-)
Thanks for the infos, ficbot.

Try the free Microsoft .lit English-to-French and French-to-English dictionaries available here.

You can easily convert it using ConvertLit and then converting the .html to .imp or simply install Lit2sb using the instructions here. I've done this for all the freely available dictionaries there, including the Encarta one.

However, since they are copyrighted by Microsoft, I cannot post them here, but you can convert them for personal use.
