Dear Mobilereaders

I am new to these forums and to ereaders. I need to acquire 2 readers for myself and another party. Yesterday I purchased the sony-600, under the impression that it had dictionary support, or would be able to support, for multiple languages. As it turns out there is no way to add anything other than the default English dictionary

Jetbook looks very appealing to me, as I do a great deal of reading in several languages. These are not native languages for me, so I would find a dictionary tool quite useful. However, I have had some problems seeing exactly which dictionaries are included on the Jetbook Lite.

So far it seem like these certainly are

Polish
Russian
German
Spanish

I was wondering if anyone knows if Ectaco plans too add more dictionaries, for example French or their newly supported Vietnamese, or if one can buy them?

I also would like to confirm that you can look a word up in a German document, and not just translate English words to German (or any other languages) which is all that I see people try to do in video reviews.
