Dictionary only looks up for English words
Kobo Touch running 1.9.10 FW, set to the French language
Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't found a way to invoke a dictionary other than English.
When I bring up the dictionary, it will only look up a word considering it is English. At the very least, I would expect the dictionary to default to the language the unit is set to, but it really should honour the language tag if it corresponds to an available dictionary, i.e if book is in French, lookup in French dictionary, if in Spanish lookup Spanish dictionary and so forth...
EDIT: I've just updated to 1.9.11 and I see no change, but I've been able top do a few more testings and one thing peculiar that happens is, if I highlight a purely French word (i.e. not on the English dictionary), the search will not only fail, but I get a warning that I should change dictionaries?! I am still to find how to achieve that, but at least it sounds more like a bug than a missing feature...
