Side loaded dictionary not working
I'm trying to install the Russian-English dictionary available here on my Era:
https://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/su...tbook-inkpad-3 I installed per the instructions but get only No results found. And it does not appear in the Select Dictionary list. What might I have overlooked? There is a much larger StarDict dictionary that I think I can convert to .dic format but I don't want to try it until I can get this one working. |

I guess it would help if ... you write exactly what you did instead of "installed per instructions". Otherwise you know ... its just guesses that come back.

Ideally someone who has actually done this can tell me what it would look like had it worked, what else to check, etc. I've only had a PocketBook device for a week. |

1) Did you try a reboot?
2) The dics from the Pocketbook site should be downloadable via the dictionary menu on the device. Did you try that too? |

It's weird that Pocketbook does not include any Russian dictionaries (on dictionary menu), given you can use that as UI language and for TTS. Kindles do. Now I'lll see if I can convert the Stardict dictionary (KOReader uses this one), which should be much better. |

huh! I was going to say that of course they include a Russian->English dictionary, but looking more closely I only see one on my really old devices (901 and first Touch Lux). My Inkpad and Colour don't include one by default. I guess there wasn't enough space for every dictionary they might provide.

Most of the free stardict format russian dictionaries are rather bad quality, but the Korolew one is OK, with some 30K headwords. There's also a good 30K russian-german translation dictionary.

Sigh. Can't get KOReader to download dictionaries over WiFi (again). It worked yesterday... [update:] And finally download worked. Something flakey in there. Last edited by tomsem; 08-01-2022 at 09:16 PM. |
