I know many people prefer it, but with how poor the kobo dual language dictionaries are (possibly apart from the English-French one), I'm afraid it won't be much use to them - Sony dictionaries were much better.
At present, with my language defined as the usual French
Spanish defined books call the French dictionary, unless I switch the parameters language to Spanish - the same books that called the Spanish dictionary a few releases ago
English defined books call the English-French dictionary in the first pop-up, the single language English in the full page called from the pop-up
French, Italian and German books call the single language appropriate dictionary in both pop-up and full page
If I define my language as English
Spanish and English defined books call the English dictionary
French, German and Italian defined books call the French-English/German-English/Italian-English dictionaries respectively in the first pop-up, the single language appropriate ones in the full page called from the pop-up
I understand that most of this corresponds to majority wishes, though I would like an option to choose single language as a first choice - not to speak of decent translation dictionaries - but I DON'T understand why, while implementing all this, kobo didn't solve the reported Spanish bug.

Same problem here with Aura HD and 3.8.0 : I read books in english and french and don't use EN-FR but EN dictionary when reading english. So my only installed dictionaries are english and french ones and the user interface language is french. Now, when I touch a word in an english book, I get a message asking me to download the english dictionary (which is already there). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the dictionary but to no avail.
I'm very annoyed with this behavior I must say. Did you or anybody here found a way to revert to the previous one ?
