Hi!

Recently got a Kobo and just learned how to add a hyphenation dictionary in my own language (swedish).

Now, a question that I've unsuccessfully been trying to find an answer to online is this:

I read a lot of old swedish literature from the 19th century and in that time a lot of words were spelled differently than today (f instead of v etc.) and also some words were in use that's not found in a modern dictionary.

Therefore I would like to add a dictionary of old swedish but am unsure of what the best way to do this would be, or for that matter, in what ways it can be done.

Would it be possible to have two separate dictionaries; one for 19th century swedish and one for modern swedish? (That of course implies being able to mark certain e-books as written in 19th century swedish.)

Thanks!
