Custom Chinese-English Dictionary for Kobo not working

[bigmiami]

Hi there I'm starting a new thread as the thread I need to reference below has been closed.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=202182

I followed the instruction on adding the Chinese-English dictionary to my Kobo Libra H20 but it doesn't work.

It keeps saying "dictionary download pending, sync to install" but it doesn't work no matter how many times I sync it.

Does anyone know the problem, or of another Chinese-English custom dictionary I can use? Currently this is the only one I can find.

What firmware version are you on? If the latest (4.24.15676), try adding the dictionary to the .kobo/custom-dict directory not the .kobo/dict directory. See this message from @jackie-w and probably check the last pages of the Index of Custom Dictionaries for Kobo eReader thread for more information.

Out of curiosity, why did you say the thread you referenced has been closed. The thread does not say that it is closed and I did not see any moderator notices to that effect.
