If the dictionaries work, you should get a dictionary popup window showing the name of the dictionary and two flags indicating the dictionary languages.
If you get two identical flags, the dictionaries are not properly encoded and the only way to fix this is to change the dictionary input and output languages in the source code and to re-compile the dictionary. |
Thanks for the info Doitsu, a great help. I tried your suggestion and my French to English dictionary works fine in mobireader for PC showing the correct flags, Makes translating a breeze. Kindle for PC is restricted in this area and does not recognise my dictionary as a dictionary at all, only as a standalone ebook.
I thought my dictionary wasn't coded correctly, therefore I was reading on the forum about checking/changing the input output languages, to get dictionary to work. you just saved me a lot of tinkering around with hex code.
