bytestorm · 11-05-2013, 03:15 PM

Hi!
I just bought a kindle for my wife, and it was the 5th generation kindle, without keyboard, and no touch. Surely I did a misstake since I was originally looking to get the paperwhite (since it has japanese language support), but she wanted the regular edition since she didnt like the lit screen of the PW..

well now this one doesnt have japanese language support

i just took it for granted since the pw has it..

is there any way i can get the devicelanguage to japanese? and add japanese dictionaries?

i found some post about extracting the sw from PW and uppdate the kindle with but that was for the touch version i belive...

I got sw 4.1.1.

Thanks in advance!
