Feature request concerning support of kepub Japanese books and selection of words

In roman letter books selecting a word with immediate translation is working very nicely and quickly. Unfortunately, the same does not hold for Japanese books:
* selection is slow and error prone
* words are not automatically selected, not even in a simple way like selecting the biggest group of characters of the same type (hiragana, katakana, kanji)
* for translation one has to tap the dictionary icon in the lower tools bar
* (furthermore, please let us install Japanese-English dictionary!!!)
It would be great to get improvement in this area, as this is where the Kobo is far behind the Kindle. In all other respects I do rely mostly on the Glo when reading. Only for Japanese books I switch to PW.

Thanks

Norbert
