Sorting dictionaries on PW3

henriquemaia · 04-07-2016, 05:03 PM

Greetings.

Is there any way to sort Kindle's dictionaries by a personal criteria (by languages, for instance) on Kindle's dictionaries' selection menu?

Thank in advance.

Kindles select dictionaries based on the language metadata of Kindle books or in case of .pdf and .txt files based on the UI language.

If you have multiple dictionaries installed for a language, you can select the preferred dictionary via:

Home > Settings > Device Options > Language and Dictionaries > Dictionaries

Thanks for your reply. What I wanted to sort was the menu you get when you want to choose another dictionary on-the-fly, for instance, when you want to use a translation dictionary. The way it is now, the dictionaries just appear in alphabetic order (which is not very helpful if you have a lot of dictionaries with different names).

Well, in any case, thanks so much for your reply.
