Cannot find the dictionary in PocketBook app

Greetings,
I do not see the "Dictionary" icon in PocketBook when I highlight a word.
I found this thread, but it does not seem to apply to the current version of PocketBook.

Pocketbook Android app dictionary?

Here is a screen shot of available icons.

Any ideas as to what I need to do to have access to the dictionary.
I used it a lot in ReadEra
Thanks,
WV-Mike

Once you highlight a word, select the translate option. You can then choose your installed dictionary app. This worked for me. I turned the off the instant translate setting.

Or click on share and choose the dictionary of your choice.

(You can scroll through the drop-down bar and sort the displayed options as you like).

There is no "installed dictionary" option. Can you suggest one to install?
Thanks,

I installed Livio English offline dictionary, but it does not show up in the context menu.

I guess I will switch to Reasily.

Thanks for your help with this.
