Instructions for patching firmware 4.7.10413 - Page 7

Yes, I guess? (in the attached files you can see I've got more than one (there are two 'pages' of dictionary options).

taos · 03-30-2018, 05:30 PM

Strange, you've chosen "Extra:_ru - Extra:_en" but it tells you that it can't find "Extra:_ru" (which is correct because you have no monolingual Russian dictionary installed). Do you see the same error message if you choose the second "Extra:_ru - Extra:_en" entry from the list?

sparcina · 03-30-2018, 05:46 PM

Yep, I guess the same error whenever a choose a dictionary that has 'ru' in it. The normal dictionaries (those I had before, like Deutsch-English) work fine.

Semwize · 03-30-2018, 06:03 PM

sparcina, try adding in Kobo eReader.conf

[ApplicationPreferences]
ExtraLocales=ru

sparcina · 03-30-2018, 06:11 PM

I had
ExtraLocales=ru, en
already, so I deleted 'en' and the comma, but it still doesn't work

Semwize · 03-30-2018, 06:22 PM

patch `Allow searches on Extra dictionary` you used?

sparcina · 03-30-2018, 06:36 PM

This is what mine looks like in libnickel:

<Patch>
patch_name = `Allow searches on Extra dictionaries`
patch_enable = `yes`
# Multi-version patch: 4.7.10413 - 4.7.10413+
#
## To allow searches on Extra dictionaries change space character at end of
## "Extra: " to another char (ex: "Extra:_")
## The space char causes a non-desired "English - English" when searching on
## Extra dictionary from main menu.

Sould I do something about the part in bold? (I put it in bold to make it clearer what I'm talking about, it's not like that when I open notepad)

This should be okay, the bold part is just a comment.

The interesting part is the following paragraph starting with "find_base_address" where you can change the replacement character for the space ('\x20’) after "Extra:". But it's completely fine to leave it at its default value.

Removing en from the ExtraLocales line should take care of the "Extra:_en" entries. You should now be back to "English". If not try to reboot your Kobo.

Now I have just one page of offered dictionary when I touch a word (see my post from 9:10pm), but it still tells me I've got no ru dictionary.

taos · 03-30-2018, 08:06 PM

Can you look up a word if you choose the modified it-en dictionary from the drop-down menu?

sparcina · 03-30-2018, 08:27 PM

I just have the first page (see first attached thumbnail at 9:10pm on my previous post way up this page) since I deleted the 'en' and the comma after 'ExtraLocales=ru, en', but now if I add 'en' again and try to check up a word (with any of the Extra:_something), it just tells me it's not installed. Same thing for it-en.

1. There should be no en in ExtraLocales because its one of the included languages - if you change something in the conf file make sure to restart the Kobo in this case.
2. If - after a restart - you still see "Extra:_en" instead of "English" then something is wrong. Depending on how much you've already done to customize your reader you could either try a factory reset, update to the latest firmware, install the patched software, and then follow again the instructions to add additional dictionaries. Or:
3. Go back to the original it-en dictionary (copy it back, sync it, or download and sideload it).
4. Restart your Kobo. Have a look at the entries in the dictionary dropdown menu: if everything works as expected ("Extra:_ru - English" entry, when you choose it you're either told that it can't find the definition or you're shown it), great. If not:
5. Open the database, choose the dictionary table, remove the entry for the ru-en dictionary completely, save the database, disconnect your Kobo safely and restart it.
6. Can you now use one of the pre-installed dictionaries (especially it-en) again? Are the entries for English actually shown as "English" and not "Extra:_en"? If yes, edit the database to add the line for the new dictionary again, make sure to use exactly "-ru-en" without trailing spaces, make sure that the size is correct, restart your Kobo afterwards. If not:
7. Do a factoty reset and start all over.

Thank you, I'll try!

Do not use "en". For the Russian-English dictionary, use for exemple "r1".

Patch `Allow searches on Extra dictionaries`: yes

Kobo_ereader.conf: ExtraLocales: r1

Name of dictionary: /.kobo/dict: dicthtml-r1.zip

BD: \.kobo\KoboReader.sqlite use -r1 suffix) and -r1 - Russian-English (name)

Semwize · 04-01-2018, 03:15 PM

Why r1?

ExtraLocales=ru

dicthtml-ru-en.zip
dicthtml-en-ru.zip

KoboReader.sqlite is a cosmetic operation, it is possible and not to change.
