Folk,
I am new here (hi) and so apologise in advance if I am asking something that has already been answered (I have been searching the forum - but haven't found anything that quite matches my question).

My (English speaking) daughter is learning French, Spanish and German and intends to continue learning these languages at University.

My wife (also multi-lingual) practices her language skills by reading books in Spanish and French on her Kindle on which we have installed the Kindle Spanish/English and French/English dictionary. As long as the correct dictionary is set as the default, it means that she can highlight text and the Kindle shows the translation e.g. if she highlights a Spanish word, the Kindle shows the English translation of that word.

So, I would like to buy my daughter a Kindle for the same reason. However, the Kindle Touch is not available in the UK and the Kobo Touch (as far as I can tell from all your comments) is far better - and is available in the UK.

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain the same effect on the Kobo - i.e. the ability to be able to highlight text in one language and see the translation in another?

(Before you ask - I have posed this question of Kobo support twice. Once they said "yes" and then they said "no" - so I am none the wiser!).

Thanks,
Creamola
