Enabling a Japanese dictionary

[PoP]

Amazon japanese dictionary is not available for download to the Kindle Keyboard

Just by curiosity (since I can't read japanese) I wanted to see if my venerable Kindle3 could lookup their dictionary anyway.

Since I previously had success looking up a chinese book with a chinese dictionary

Spoiler:

I thought I would simply extract their Daijisen Japanese Dictionary from the Kindle for Android application (where it works perfectly

Spoiler:

) to test it on a book I created with Sigil.

I consultedd The Apprentice and converted to a .mobi dictionary that I sideloaded to the Kindle3 and can read perfectly

Spoiler:

Then with Mobiunpack I extracted from the source the orth form of some japanese words to create my test book

Spoiler:

Alas, looking up the word of my attached japanese test book fails (language is set to ja/17) against the dictionary (language, input and output languages all set to ja/17)

Spoiler:

Why Now I am really curious!

The last person who asked about supporting some un-supported language -
I suggested that they just adopt Klingon as their native language since you have that dictionary working.

I think they just 'went away'

Right, I need this to build a Japanese to Klingon dictionary Hahaha!

... Perhaps should I go away to another MR forum to ask my question.

No, not what I meant.

I made that response to a 'one question too many' on a long day of (re-)answering other questions.
