See this thread on how to add custom dictionaries without sacrificing existing ones. If you want to do it in this way, read the whole thread, rather than only the first post.

Hi guys, thanks a lot for this very helpful thread. Dictionaries are very important for reading and learning new vocabulary.

I have Kobo Glo and I tried the following dictionary (English - Arabic)
English-Arabic: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=48 (rmreader, 2014-11-23)

However, the arabic letters arent recognized and the letters are shown as rectangles. Is there any solution to show the arabic letters in the dictionary ?

thanks for any help-insights.

Did you install a font that includes the arabic letters? If not, create a new folder "fonts" (all lower-case) on your device and copy your font into it. If you did this already, and it does not work, you can try to change the font settings of the dictionary with Modifications for bad eyes.

Thanks a lot for your help !

I installed an arabic font (rasheek) and the ebook in arabic didnt work (unrecognized letters), the dictionary of course also doesent work.

Then I realized that my firmware is an old 2013 one (2.6) I updgraded to a new 2016 firmware (3.16) and now indeed the ebook in arabic does work and even the dictionary in arabic does work (a big relief-happiness !).

however it sees i have the sae problem as you had with japanese, the letters in araic in the dictionary are TOO SMALL !!!

I am newbie with Kobo, Is there a step by step simple way to modify the dictionary for a bigger arabic letters ?

Is there also a simple way to combine dictionaries ? (for example I want at the same time arabic + french translations of the english word) ?

Thanks a lot for any insights !

Amazing the modifications for the eye (bigger fonts for the dictionary !!!) wow i followed your instructions and it did work, a life changing experience from small dictionary letters ! thanks a lot, much appreciated !

if i want to decrease just a little bit the fonts of the dictionary (lol) what i should odify, is it an easy process ?

@DoctorFouad
I assume that you took the modifications for 3.16.0. I would recommand that you update your device to FW 3.19.5761, and patch it with the modifications for 3.19.5761. Anyway, I explain it now for the 3.16.0 patch (the method is basically the same for all versions.) I further assume, that you did not yet do any changes to the libnickel.so.1.0.0.txt file.

Open the file libnickel.so.1.0.0.txt and find the following passage (shown in the spoiler), change the parts marked in red colour as you see fit.
Spoiler:
Code:
<patch>
name=Dictionary (Georgia)
note=if you use this definition, disable the other Dictionary definition(s)
enabled=true
action=replace_string

oldpart=* { font: %1px %2; line-height: %5em; }\n
oldpart=div.descriptionFont { font-family: %3; }\n

newpart=b * { font-weight: bold; }\n

Start the patch process by double-clicking on 3.19.5613_aura.bat (this is for the simple Glo too!):
If you have further questions concerning the modifications for bad eyes, please post them in the modifications for bad eyes thread, in order to avoide hijacking the dictionary thread.

Have a look at penelope, look for the words "merge several dictionaries".

Again thanks a lot much appreciated, i made the mistake of patching the glo hd, instead of the aura for my glo, now that i rpatched the aura settings, things improved a lot ! the settings are just fine, you did an amazing job !

Do you guys have a better choice for Eng-Eng dictionary in Kobo? The default dictionary is really sucked.
Thanks.

Does anybody know where I can BUY GOOD dictionaries in a format compatible with Penelope (english, italian and english-italian)? I converted babylon dictionaries some time ago and posted them here but I would like to try something else now.
