Kobo Aura HD operating language

Olnejean · 01-13-2014, 02:43 PM

Hello!
I have been searching the Web for hours without finding an aswer to my question:
Is it possible to change the operating language of a Kobo Aura HD?
In other words, if I buy it in Holland, and the operating language is Dutch, can I change it to, say, French or Italian?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, you can select from English, French, French (Canadian), Japanese, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian).

I just checked on my Aura HD, and GeoffR has it exactly right.

In addition, you have the option of installing free dictionaries in the different languages. For example, Deutsch, English-Deutsch, and Deutsch-English. On my Kindle, I had to pay for non-English dictionaries.

The options are under Settings l Language.
