Aura HD How to set a specific dictionary

adbosch · 07-17-2013, 03:15 PM

When I look up a word, the Aura searches the dutch dictionary. Which is fine when reading a dutch text. But when I read an english text I'd like it to immediately search the corresponding english dictionary. It does not and after not having found the word in the dutch dictionary I have to change to the english dictionary. Each time. Is there no way to define the dictionary to use for a specific text?

If you are talking about the definition dictionaries, they generally work as you would like. I wonder whether the language is correctly set in the opf files of your books.

I see. Most of my books are passed through Calibre, but I never realized I might have to select the language. I'll take that into account. Thanks.
