After working for 3 hours on it, I think I would appreciate some help now...

My questions:
1)
I've used the dictionary converter txt -> dic : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...53&postcount=1
(with command prompt converter.exe file.txt en)

My source is this file (an English -> French Dictionary): http://www1.dict.cc/download/tf/cocg...6143-i7a88.zip
I put the .dic file into /system/dictionaries. But when I used this on an PDF ebook, it finds only some words !?!. There seems to be a lot of words missing from the original txt file! (Stranger than that: the original file is 545kb but the .dic file is only 5kb ... Is there a problem with my dictionaryconverter? )

EDIT: In fact, I can't see my dictionary even if I put them in the directory /system/dictionary!
I thought I did but their location is directed on my computer, not on the Pocketbook. ( Isee them like : "C:\dictionaryconverter\English_French2.dic".. .)

I've only put them under the name like "English_French2.dic", "English_French3.dic". What I am missing?
It's not enough to put them in the directory, do they need some special format?

EDIT2: Okay, I think I got it... You have to put the DictionaryConverter program directory into the /system/dictionaries directory.. Is that right? Now I can see my dictionary under the name: "G:\system\dictionaries\English_French2.dic". But I've got the same problem og words apparently missing from the original txt file ???

2) Are Abbyy Lingvo built-in dictionaries ? To verify that I put correctly my new dictionary into the pocketbook, I've deleted all the other dictionaries to leave only my English_French.dic dictionary into the directory.
Despite of that, it seems that all the ABBYY lingvo dictionaries can still be selected?? Where are these dictionaries in fact?

3) Does the stylus work for you to look for the definition of a word? In a PDF ebook, I can only select a word by going up and down with the direction buttons. When the word is right at top or bottom of the page, it's a bit cumbersome... Is the stylus working for you?

Thanks a lot!
