Hi there,

I have a Kobo Glo HD and recently tried to switch to koreader. I got Kobo Start Menu 08 and the latest stable version of koreader. [Obscene language deleted] and imho not as comfortable to use as nickel for a random user like me, but it's way faster and I find PDFs to be better handled.

However, I can't get dictionaries to work. I downloaded the Wiktionary from http://www.dictinfo.com (all languages), got the dict, idx and ifo files and following the instructions from https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ionary-support, I put them in .adds/koreader/data/dict (and since the instructions are not the clearest, also tried putting the files in another folder in data/dict/ instead of directly). No luck, still "No definition found.".

What did I do wrong?

Cheers!
