You want to look in the OPF file for the language declaration.

Worked great! And it was a weird sort of geek-fun to do. Once. But if I have to do this on all 378 of my ePub files affected I will shoot myself. Ohhhhhhhhhh, Kooooooooooviiiidddd......

The only book that gives me this problem is Sam Landstrom,s Metagame, downloaded from his site in epub (not available in UK iBookstore). All my others -- included some converted from my Sony Reader -- are fine. UK English iPad.

A related question: Will we simply be able to use Calibre to re-convert our books if we use iTunes to transfer/manage books? |

^good questions. I'd be interested in being able to just regenerate to get the correct meta data for dictionary support.

Yes, you can reconvert epub->epub and the metadata will be rewritten (as of 0.7.5).
If you transfer the epub to iTunes/iBooks using calibre's iDevice driver, the metadata will be rewritten in the epub automatically. G |

iBooks 1.1. and PDFs
Hi there,
I got the dictionary working with an epub file using the procedure suggested in this thread. However, what to do about PDFs. I've loaded some 20 plus on to my iPad and - so far - the dictionary is not working in any of them. Any suggestions? |

Kovid,
I just converted a bunch of books with 0.7.6, and they still have the language set to UND, which means there's no dictionary on the iPad. Could you have an option in calibre to use the system default language for texts in an unspecified language. If not the system default language, how about letting users specify their preferred language in preferences for texts where it's not set? |

0.7.6 sets the language to the interface language specified in calibre, unless the source document you are converting has its language set to und

How would the interface language influence English ebook conversion on a German or French or etc setting on Calibre? There are lot of countries out there that do not speak English as a first language and we create ebooks in our mother language and in English. Further, maybe in the hopfully not to far future we will have multible dictionaries on our iPads. I would prefer a manual setting.
