I have a Kobo on the way to replace a deceased Sony. I read books in Spanish on it, selecting ES - EN as the default dictionary for the device, which worked very well. I have a Kindle, which recognizes a Spanish book, giving English definitions upon tapping. How does Kobo handle that? Must I select English as a "destination" translation for each word individually selected? Also, does it make a difference whether the book has been sideloaded?
Many thanks!

No and no. In general, if your device language is english it will assume you want to translate to english from other languages (ie if you choose spanish as your device language, it will assume you are spanish speaking). But if you choose a different dictionary, it will then stick with that one (at least within the same book....for example if you want to up your skills and read the spanish definition in the spanish-spanish dictionary, it will then use that dictionary within that book, until you select a different one). Doesn't make a difference whether sideloaded or not for what language dictionary is selected.
