This thread has been closed by knc1. As the originator of the thread it would have been nice if I'd been asked if my problem had been solved before closing the thread.

As it happens the problem hasn't been solved because the solution offered by dsmid doesn't work on the paperwhite as opposed to the pw2. At least not for me.

Let me state the issue once again to be clear: I read German books and would like to be able to have Google Translate as the second option, instead of Wikipedia, in the box that opens when I highlight a word. At the moment when I highlight a word the dictionary translates it but if the word is not in the dictionary, Wikipedia opens. I would rather that Google Translate opens if the dictionary doesn't contain the word. (I know that if I press "More" and then "Translation" and then specify source and target languages I can get a translation, but that is extremely longwinded). Is this possible? And if so, how?
