Hi guys,

Today I received my Kobo Sage and I intend to use it for learning the Russian Language. So for me, the most important feature, is to have a good Russian pop-up dictionary with which I can quickly look up words that are not know to me.

The issue is, there is no dictionary, where I can ALWAYS find the word that I don't know. (actually, I feel the miss rate is about 40%. Meaning 40% of the words that I want to look up, are not found in the dictionary.) I am already using the best stardict dictionary I could find, so using a better dictionary won't help much.

But what would help, is if I could actually type in Russian words in the dictionary, so I can search for the lemma's, instead of the inflicted words (because that is mostly the problem). But There is no Cyrillic keyboard to type in lemmas.

So, is it possible to do either of the following:
1. Install a Cyrillic keyboard?
2. Put the Language of the whole device to "Russian"
3. Add a custom "Search" to an online dictionary I know works well (like wiktionary or openrussian.org)

If it requires some programming, that would be no issue for me.
