Forma Custom Dictionary question

gtriever · 10-04-2020, 07:46 PM

I'd like to add a Latin-English dictionary to my Forma. According to the latest things I've read, I should be able to just drop the file into the custom-dict folder, and then power my reader off and back on.

I downloaded the new.dicthtml-la-en.zip file from page 1 of the custom dictionaries thread, renamed it to dicthtml-la-en.zip, and then copied it to the custom-dict folder on the Forma. The Forma lets me add it as a dictionary, but doesn't show any results when I try to look up a word.

Not being tech-savvy with the Kobo's workings,what am I doing wrong??

Thanks.

Mine works fine. Try turning your kobo off and on.

4th time is the charm... I think. Either that, or the first several times I installed and tried a word lookup it just didn't find any results due to the limitations of the dictionary itself.

Anyway, problem solved and 'Thank You' to anacreon for the response.
