If it still doesn't work, download a free MR Spanish Kindle book with the proper language code to test the dictionary lookup with.

If it doesn't work with this book either, there's something wrong with your Kindle and/or the dictionary.
Thanks Doitsu - I'm working on it!
Having had some problems downloading and installing JRE for Ubuntu Linux, have now (I hope) got both JRE1.7.0_65 and libnpjp.so and the Mobi Metadata Editor in the Firefox Plugins sub-directory.
I guess what I now need to do is copy them into Calibre - but which sub-directory?
BTW I tried a Spanish Kindle book from www.mobileread but that produced the same result as before, ie English dictionary used.

Really sorry to be a pain, but very grateful for your help.
