You can check (and modify) the language parameters of a dictionary with the latest version or the Java Mobi Metadata Editor. |
Ah, OK. Thank you for the correction.
Presumably, though, you could do it the other way around: if your Spanish dictionary is marked as English, you could use Calibre to set the language code of your Spanish book to "English", so that your selected "English" (really "Spanish") dictionary would be used for the lookup?
