Update: discovered the other day that the iPad Kindle app DOES let you use foreign language dictionaries and it does recognize them automatically e.g. I installed the French dictionary for a French book and it automatically reverted back to the English dictionary when I used an English book later. It is only good for single words though---I am going to continue to use a different app for now until I am more comfortable with the verb tenses; I still find I like the Google Translate plugin my other app has (even though it requires you to be on-line, which doesn't always work for me) because I can translate conjugated phrases as opposed to just single words.
I do think that once I get more comfortable with the verbs, the Kindle app may be sufficient in and of itself.
