Indeed, I use a french dictionnary and at the first search all is ok, but at the 2nd I can see that it tries to open a translation dictionnary (that is not installed and I don't want to find a translation, only a definition) !

So we have identified a bug : the default dictionnary is not maintained during the 2nd search...

Is it just a bad setting or a real bug ???

Developpers you've got a new challenge !
I don't see this.

I just tested this with a German book. When I first did a dictionary lookup, it chose the Deutsch-English translation dictionary. That is probably a reasonable thing as the interface is English. When I selected a word from the popup, it looked up that word in English. I then looked up another word in the book and selected the Deutsch dictionary. When I selected a word in the popup, the Deutsch dictionary was still use.

Now, I thought that the the problem was that you were starting from French. That's why tested with German (and I happened to have a preview of a German book). The licensing for the French dictionary has been different from the others dictionaries. The licensing meant that you could not search for a word in the French dictionary. You could only look them up from a selection in the book. I thought this was causing the behaviour you described. But, that seems to no longer be the case. With 4.2.8432 on my Glo and Aura H2O, I can search the French dictionary and lookup from the dictionary popup. I don't have a device running anything older, so I cannot check how it used to work.
