Aura kobo aura english-dutch?

[koboaura]

im doubting to buy a kobo aura (regular, not hd or h2o), but i cant find anywhere if it has an english-dutch translator.

on the pocketbook lux 2 it has a dutch translator built into the dictionary. does the kobo aura have that too? or van i download it from somewhere?

My Kobo e-reader DOES have a Dutch (Nederlands) dictionary, but does NOT have an English-Nederlands translator, unfortunately. It may be possible to add one, but I don't know so somebody else will have to chime in here.

I might add that current Kobo touch-screen e-readers do have a rudimentary internet browser in-built, and it is possible to search for a selected word in Google or Wikipedia. Once the Google page opens you can add the words "translate to Dutch" to the search box (in addition to the English word) or vice-versa, and it will bring up the translation. Of course, this requires an active internet connection.

where can you download extra dictionaries or translators for the aura?

My kobo H2o doesn't have a English-Dutch dictionary, but i much prefer an English-English dictionary instead. If i come across a difficult or strange word, i often get an similar strange word if i translate it to Dutch. The English-English dictionary explains the meaning of a word and gives context. Also the English-English dictionary's usually have more words in them.

I have managed to get freeware stardict dictionaries working on the Kobo.
I converted the dictionaries to and from dutch for english, french and german.
