Dictionary of foreign words

Hi folks,
in my opinion the findings in the dictionaries installed in my Kobo Aura One are very poor. This is at least to say for what I get in German. I do not mean translations from one language to another - e.g. En-Ge - I mean findings related to the meaning of words one does not know (you put your finger on the unknown word and the Kobo software is searching in the installed pre-selected dictionary whether there is an explanation for the highlighted word. For most of the words to which I would like to find a direct explanation the reader does not provide an explanation. I don't want to go the path via google or wikipedia because of the need to be online which is not provided all the time and - by the way - it is lasting much longer compared to direct acces to an on-board-dictionary.
Does somebody know a dictionary being compatible to the format the Kobo needs to have. The dictionary should support German/German - or - second priority English/English.
I do have a digital dictionary on-board which is Wahrig Wörterbuch - but this is in the pdf format.
I would be happy when somebody might provide me with a download link for a powerful dictionary - maybe direct to my email account hugbe@gmx.de.
Thanks
hugbe
