woordenboeken in ereaders

Weet iemand hoe ik een frans-nederlands of duits-nederlands woordenboek op de ereader kan zetten? Nu moet ik alles in het engels woordenboek opzoeken.

Does anyone know how I can put a French-Dutch or German-Dutch dictionary on ereader? Now I have to look up everything in English dictionary.

I have not found any Dutch translation dictionaries for you, but perhaps someone else can help.

Ik vond geen Nederlandse vertaalwoordenboeken voor u, maar misschien kan iemand anders helpen. - if that was awful, blame Google translate.

It will depend on the reader brand and model.
Kindles, Sonys, and Pocketbooks I know you can... others?

i have a pocketbook touch and a sony pr2. Both only have english dictionaries. Pocketbook claims to have dictionaries on its website but not anymore. You have to make do with the ones in their software updates.

Yvonne, search in the Pocketbook subforum and in the German Pocketbook subforum for "dictionary" or "Wörterbuch".

For instance, you will find something in this post

not sure, if it helps.

Have you visited the Obreey Store website? They sell French-English and German-English dictionaries for PocketBook readers.

If you read many French and German books, your best bet would be an Android based smartphone or tablet, because for some odd reason Van Dale only sells their Dutch dictionaries in the Google play store.

Moved to the Pocketbook forum, given that it's not possible to install additional dictionaries on the Sony.

Translation from french or german to english is not the problem. Those dictionary's are pre-installed or else easy to find. But it would be so much easier to have a direct translation from german or french to dutch.

In that case, you'll have to find French-Dutch and German-Dutch wordlists and convert them to the PocketBook dictionary format. However, there simply aren't any decent word lists out there. (At least there weren't the last time I checked.)

If you do happen to find a good Public Domain word list, contact German MR user SIRSteiner. He might be able to convert it for you. However, don't expect him to convert a Van Dale bootleg copy to the Pocketbook format.

Thanks for checking. I've visited all forums and sites on this subject and it seems hopeless.
I'm beginning to suspect that the publishers out there would like to get rid of small-country-languages like dutch and make english the official language. Making decent dictionaries for those lousy 16 million readers is just to much trouble.

Depends on your reader I guess.
When you, e.g., buy a Sony reader in Belgium, there are 5 dictionaries on it for Dutch (twelve dictionaries in total).

Does it have French to Dutch or German to Dutch translation dictionaries? That's what the OP is wanting.

It's not some kind of conspiracy. It's just that one publisher, Van Dale, has the Dutch dictionary market cornered and they decided to make their dictionaries only available as print editions, on CDs and as Android apps.
They're losing a lot of money because of this stupid decision, but I guess they don't need it.

Yes it does!

JLius · 05-23-2014, 08:03 AM

O wait, it doesn't, only English to Dutch and VV. It has Ger, It, Fr and Es dictionaries, but only to English.

I overlooked that. I only read Dutch and English books, so I've never used the German and French dictionaries.
