List of Official Kobo Dictionaries (v3)
This is mainly for the sideloaders out there (and myself since I keep forgetting the links).
This is the list of dictionaries that are available to be downloaded from the Languages and Dictionaries settings section after sync. They are meant to be placed in .kobo/dict (although you could put them in .kobo/custom-dict if you wanted). These are version 3 dictionaries, so they require firmware version 4.24.15672 or greater.
If any are missing, feel free to chime in the comments. That said, I've noticed that the Nederlands dictionaries don't seem to be working anymore in firmware 4.32 when put into the dict directory (they don't show up in the menu, even if I set my language preference to Nederlands) BUT in the About Device section, there's a 2022 copyright notice for Van Dale Dutch dictionaries. So perhaps those ones have different links or haven't been released yet? Not sure what's happening there. EDIT: If I put those dictionaries into the custom-dict directory, they become visible in the menu (albeit with the 'Custom' label) and searchable and search results do have a Van Dale 2020 copyright notice, so they do work. Is this a bug? EDIT: I've attempted to correct the dictionary links as of 2024-May-23. DNSB Last edited by DNSB; 10-03-2024 at 04:31 PM. |

Whoops thought you were collecting custom dictionaries not just linking official ones that’ll teach me to skim.

Too bad they don't have an English–Norwegian dictionary or just a plain Norwegian one, even though Kobos are sold in Norway and the UI is available in Norwegian. I will contact support about this because I don't see a good reason why it shouldn't be included.

The list is there for those who do not connect their Kobo to the Internet and sideload only. You can download the dictionaries from the links in the first message, transfer them to your Kobo and enjoy using them.

Hi all the link for the Spanish monolingual is dead, does anyone have a valid link? Thank you
On a side note all that is required to install these is to paste them into the dictionary folder in the .kobo directory and eject the device its as simple as that |

I am trying to download the official dictionaries using these links to fix my corrupted Kobo that is now refusing to directly download the dictionaries. Unfortunately, none of the URLs are working. Are there newer versions, like v4 or v5?

I've added in the missing links from the first message to my list of corrected links and copied it to the first message.

Hello. I would like to buy the Kobo Clara BW but I would like to know beforehand, which Swedish-Swedish dictionary is already installed by default? Norstedts or Bonniers? if anyone has this e-reader and can tell me, I would be very grateful.
