Unpack dictionaries and copy their folders to koreader/data/dict/

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or this doesn't work on Onyx (Android) devices?
I see them under Settings > Dictionary settings > Manage dictionaries. But when I press a word and select dictionary nothing happens, no pop-up or nothing. |

Do you happen to have 'Use external dictionary' selected? Make sure the setting is unchecked. Top Menu - Magnifying glass - Settings -> Dictionary settings ->.

In the top menu, under the magnifying glass icon: Settings -> Dictionary Settings -> Manage Dictionaries, the 'Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 6th Ed.' is shown. Last edited by denisuu; 08-09-2024 at 06:25 AM. |

If 'use external dictionary' is NOT selected, it definitely should open the dictionary viewer when you press Dictionary in the pop-up. Even if no dictionaries are installed or selected, the window should still open but with a notice that no dictionaries are available. So I'm a bit baffled as to what your issue might be.
Does it work by chance if you have 'Dictionary on single word selection' enabled? The setting is in the top menu, Settings (gear), Taps and gestures >, Long-press on text >. Then just long-press on any word in the book and the dictionary should open. |
