patch to show dictionaries in sideloaded .txt files?

Hi,
Just got my new first kobo and it won't translate in a sideloaded .txt file, which means i can't use the dictionary. It's installed, to be sure i unchecked and checked it again to have it redownload.
I'm assuming this is to make you buy books? There must be some hack or something to make dictionaries work on plain .txt files (like my old kindle does)? Else i won't have much use for the kobo if i can't even use it's dictionaries and will have to find a reader that does.

Thanks.

You can always convert your text files to epub. Dictionaries work with sideloaded epubs.
