After installing the fonts Kobo must be restarted.

It does not work. Restarting did not help.

Hi Sergey,

Could you please update the i18n folder in your Dropbox, that we can add the new translation?

I noticed that CR still can't handle multiple stylesheets. If there is more than one css-file, only the last stylesheet will be used (or maybe the first, i don't remember the correct one). In Koreader this works as it should.

Anyhow, thanks again for your efforts. The dictionary works well and is a big step forward! CR is still my favorite reading app.

Same here. I love the dictionary.

The only thing that is problematic for me is scrolling (using my Aura HD). It's the same with menues (TOC for example). So if I had a wish I'd wish for another way to scroll than the scrollbar at the side (which is a bit slim on the HD, don't know about other readers).

Maybe like going a "page" forward by tapping on the right side in the dictionary area and back on the left side or like the arrows at the bottom but for the dictionary text and not the pages of the book - if that would even be possible that is...

Not complaining at all, I'm already happy as it is.

I never used this, but IIRC you can change the width of the scrollbar in cr3.ini. Just change the value for cr3.app.ui.scrollbar.size. Default is 40 pixels. Maybe you have to manually add the line

Code:

cr3.app.ui.scrollbar.size=50

Thanks, I'll try that... broader scollbar might help to make it easier to scroll.

Please don't worry about scrolling. Gestures will be implemented in dictionary in the same way as thay are ALREADY implemented in the TOC, recent books and others.

hombretranquilo · 07-10-2014, 04:52 PM

Hi Sergey. The integrated dictionary is an awesome work.
There is an easy way to change the default dictionary's directory (vlasovsoft/dictiorary)?. Thanks.

That's great.

And until then the broader scrollbar works very well.

What would also be great: If there was an inverted mode for the dictionary as well. As it is, there is a lot of ghosting of the white dictionary on black and it is a bit "glaring" for sensitive eyes in the dark.

If that's not possible, a refresh when closing the dictionary (like after pictures) would also be great.

Oh, oh, and if you could tap a word in the dictionary to have "cross-reference" would be fantastic. Don't know if that is even possible but I loved that about the dictionary on my "stone age PDA". I use English-English dictionaries and sometimes there's a word in the explanation that I don't know and might want to look up.

Or if you had a way to bring up a keyboard so you could type in a word without having to use the dictionary in the main menu.

I hope you don't take this as criticizing. I'm super happy that there is a dictionary and it's very exciting.

Thank you so much for all the hard work and for listening to our wishes and trying to make them come true (unlike certain companies, I'm looking at you, Kobo/Rakuten

).

Exiting restarts AuraHD(even installing after a factory reset) . I am not sure if this by design.
