In your case, both Dutch and German are already Kobo-supported languages so there isn't a lot extra you will need to do, but you will need to find and use an SQLite editor utility. I use the free SQLiteSpy on Windows 10, but there are others. Whichever utility you choose you will need to find the appropriate way to open the database file, then run an SQL command to update the Dictionary table. It should look something like this: Code:
INSERT INTO "Dictionary" VALUES('-nl-de','Nederlands - Deutsch','true',nnnnnn,'','true'); ETA:

@jkalin12345,
The problem may be due to the fact that Slovenian is not one of Kobo's currently supported languages. So you may need to install it as an "extra" dictionary. This means carefully following every step in the article linked in the post immediately above yours. Don't skip anything and make sure you name it correctly, both as a filename and in the Kobo database. |

Hello,
I'm trying to add a specific french dictionary (Littré, file can be found here). I changed its name to "dicthtml-li.zip" (because I want to keep the default one as well), copied it into my dict folder and added a row in my dictionary table: Code:
rowid 68 Suffix -li Name Littré Installed true Size 41632856 LastModified NULL IsSynced true

I tried two more things:
-Uninstall "English": Same problem, "English" is picked even when not present anymore. -Replace the default French dictionary by the new one (without changing its name ofc): It seems to be working but the name of the default dictionary (Micro Robert) is still displayed after a definition. |

If you may want to add several custom dictionaries then follow all instructions in the link at the bottom of post #32 to add them as "Extra" dictionaries. However, if this is the only custom dictionary you want to add then it's probably simpler to:
Your new custom dictionary should then appear in the drop-down list as Français - Français (Littré) |

Maybe it would be easier to just add to Kobo eReader.conf
Code:
ExtraLocales=li |

Also, Maybe it has something to do with it: Since I started to modify files on the Reader I get messages from Windows telling that there is a problem on the drive and checking/repairing every time I plug it in.

This is the SQL I used to insert the extra entry in the Dictionary table. Code:
INSERT INTO "Dictionary" VALUES('-li','Extra:_li (Littré)','true',41632856,'','true');
I also tried my own suggestion from post #37 of installing it as a -fr-fr dictionary. I see what you mean about it selecting the "Français - English" dictionary instead when you try to use it. After a bit of experimentation I could get it to work but only after I uninstalled the dicthtml-fr-en.zip dictionary - so not a satisfactory solution. The trick I suggested does work OK as a simple method for installing a second "English" dictionary as "English - English". I must remember not to suggest it to anyone in future for any language other than English. Live and learn. I get this all the time on my ClaraHD and Forma (but none of the other Kobos). I don't think it has anything to do with your dictionary problem. |

Obviously. This was a crucial step (written in red) in the guide and I didn't read it because I'm an idiot. Anyway it's working perfectly right now, thanks to you. Merci beaucoup ! Last edited by Blowfin; 11-06-2019 at 06:17 AM. |

Hello
I wanted to install English-Slovenian dictionary on Kobo Clara (prepared by me using Penelope tool) but it does not work on Kobo with our language whatever I do. I read this post 10 times already At the end I did the simplest solution: I removed downloaded Portuguese dictionary (in my case dicthtml-en-pt.zip), and replaced the Slovenian (renaming my ZIP ending with pt suffix. So now if I translate word with English-Portugues dictionary, I get Slovenian translation. Stupid but it works for me I found the only problem that if dictionaries are updated by WIFI, I get lost it :/ |
