rowid 68 Suffix -li Name Littré Installed true Size 41632856 LastModified NULL IsSynced true
The device recognize it properly, however when I try to select it in the menu, "English" (also installed) is picked instead. What did I do wrong? |
The problem is that Kobo does not know what language -li is.
If you may want to add several custom dictionaries then follow all instructions in the link at the bottom of post #32 to add them as "Extra" dictionaries.
However, if this is the only custom dictionary you want to add then it's probably simpler to:
- Rename dicthtml-li.zip to dicthtml-fr-fr.zip
- Edit the Suffix & Name fields of the -li entry you already added to the Kobo database's Dictionary table:
Code:
Suffix: -fr-fr
Name: Français - Français (Littré)
You can change the red bit to anything you want.
- Do a full power off/on
Your new custom dictionary should then appear in the drop-down list as
Français - Français (Littré)
