Selecting Chinese Characters

Question Mark · 06-06-2017, 10:37 PM

Just wondering if there is some way to select more than one Chinese character from a text in an epub to look up in the dictionary. Couldn't see anything in the settings that would help.

KOreader only ever seems to select a single character, and there don't seem to be any toggles to expand it to look up a string of two or more characters. That's very limiting since many Chinese words consist of two characters and many idioms consist of four.

Never mind. Just discovered how to do it.

Long press and slide. Then select dictionary from the pop up window.

Thought I had tried that already. Guess I must have moved my finger incorrectly... Now to work on accuracy...
