Should be possible for eBooks as they can contain a language tag. I assume that's how it works in iBooks. I have a a german book which contains the word "time". The iBooks dictionary finds no definition for that. Searching for "time" in an english book finds the definition (without changing something on the language settings). So the only explanation I have for this behavior is that iBooks is using the language tag which is assigned by Calibre.
