ok, I have version 0.5.13.8661 Beta0218 installed on K3 and a DXG. See "montalex's" post with features, etc. During install, there may be some install-failure message, while when you restart it, it seem to work. ( NOTE: - I have not upgraded to 3.1 )

They have worked some on decoding - as the frist attachment is a testpage in Swedish, which
did not show much text at all previously. Next attachment is in German, and it still does not
show characters correctly. However, previous testing with UTF-8 did show the same result as ISO-8859-1, but that has changed. The last page is UTF-8.

In other words, if you convert your textfiles to UTF-8, then there is a chance it may work out.

( for example, with Calibre, you can convert to RTF which should give you Unicode, but other programs may also do it ) Wonder if it would work for other languages ?

UPDATE:

RTF was wrong of course. Furthermore, tested a Norwegian text, but dictionary behaves the same ( extended character codes in text is not recognized by the library lookup function.

ADDED info:

The trouble with some of the character codes may have to do with "PRC - Chinese National Standard GB 18030-2005" which extend to much more then 4 times the latin-character set.
