[Closed] Kindle assistance: languages

The Question STW Cannot Answer?

I have no idea about the Kindle, but if you have an Android phone you could use Google Goggles to translate it, not ideal but should work.

Yeah, I have been using my phone to translate - seems silly when Kindle has dictionary functions though. Just doesn't look like my old one can do 2 languages.

SEVEN QUID! Says on the help that Spanish is free 🙁

If you reset and re-register your Kindle, you get all the dictionaries, including the Spanish one, sent to your account again.

No idea if this helps, not tried using any dictionary but the English one.

[i]If you reset and re-register your Kindle[/i]

Hmm, what else happens?

Nowt.

It removes all the books from your device and resets the font choice and size, along with the reading/device options.

You just download your books again.

I've done it quite a few times, because I'm a bit odd. 😀

You do need your WiFi password again though.

Ok, cheers. Not sure I wanna do dat. It's all a bit [i]organized[/i] at the mo. Because I'm a bit odd. 🙂

The spanish dictionary on kindle is brilliant! 🙂

I've this one installed, works like the normal kindle dictionary.

Edit: I'm an idiot.

Go on then. 😀

How's it organised?
I didn't even know you COULD organize!

BTW, they're very helpful if you email them, the Kindle helpdesk.
Bet they'd send you another Spanish Dictionary for free if you asked them.

I suspect that is true. If you want to translate Spanish words.

Maybe I can find a Spanish lady to lie next to me while I'm reading.

Should have said, it's a spanish english dictionary. you look up a word in spanish, you get the english meaning!

Although, the spanish lady idea does sound appealing, where do I get one of those? 😀

Author folders, help files hidden, etc.

Nice one Rusty! Did a chat with the helpdesk. He told me I could purchase it, but after a bit of pressure "But.. but .. it says it's FREE!". he's sent the Spanish dictionary to my Kindle for nowt 🙂

None of it works! If I set my dictionary to Spanish, I get Spanish word definitions.
So found this - http://evilgeniuschronicles.org/2010/01/07/my-free-and-open-kindle-formatted-spanish-to-english-dictionary/

Set to my dictionary... go to Spanish word... nothing.
Balls bum willys

Update! Version 1 on the evilgenius page works! Yippee.

What a hassle to save 4 quid! 😀

Anything to save money 🙂
