**NEED HELP** just got a kindle.
I want to change the default dictionary from english to a spanish to english dictionary so when i'm reading spanish books, papers, etc etc I can look up the word.
I've already rooted the kindle and searched google extensively and cannot seem to find the correct method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

It should be possible. I do not have a Kindle Fire to test this on, but Google found this:

I'm not aware of any similar process for the Fire. It doesn't support mobi dictionaries like the e-ink Kindles use. |

![]() Okay... I Googled it again, and here is a different result (a YouTube video that actually SHOWS a kindle fire): Unfortunately, it is only a demonstration showing that it CAN be done, not a HowTo guide. ![]() There are reports that amazon customer service tells people that you CANNOT change the default dictionary to anything other than the default 7 monolingual dictionaries. ![]() You may need to root your kindle to change the default dictionary as shown in the above YouTube video. ![]() ![]() Last edited by geekmaster; 06-18-2012 at 08:50 AM. |

Speaking of useless videos, (and I'm just taking this moment to vent) I was reading about another Fire trick where someone posted a message saying to the effect: "Download this .apk from from this link, put it here, and click this setting. Here, I made a youtube video...." So I look at the video. The video consists of, precisely, annoying background music, a distracting background graphic, and scrolling over it, the EXACT SAME TEXT from the posted message: "Download this .apk from this link..." and that's it. ![]() |
