I'm trying to read in Japanese. My level is beginner in that language Is there a way to add a a Japanese to English, or better Japanese to French dictionary on my brand new libra color (and on my sage). If so, can someone explain the way to do it for a non tech person? Thanks a lot for your help

Salut !

I do not think there is one available for the default kobo device (i may be wrong).
If this is true, you still have an option to use a japanese dictionary on top of koreader.

I always use koreader so I did not even try to find a dictionary with the "default" kobo mode.

Anyways:

- koreader:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader...n-Kobo-devices

- japanese dictionary:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader...panese-Support

It will give you an experience similar to what you may experience with the chrome/firefox yomichan plugin.

I didn't even know there was such a plugging for chrome or Firefox. Thank you for your answer

How do I install koreader, have I have to uninstall kobo software? I have had my Libra coulour just for a month or about, will it vacuate the warranty?

Sorry if my questions are dumb...

I do not think it has an impact on the guarantee (but I am not a lawyer...)

Read the Koreder link.
Then focus on the "semi automated method". It points to this forum thread:

(the 2nd post describe the process to follow according to your computer OS).

So I read all you pointed me to, but I'm lost, I just can't understand half of what is explained. I'll have to find an other way to have a japanese dictionary.

Though thanks for your help

I recently came across this J-E dictionary for Kobo, but haven’t installed it and tested it out yet. https://perm.cessen.com/2023/kobo_dictionary/

I went ahead and installed it. It seems to work fine. I don’t know if it’ll meet your needs, but all you have to do is stick it in .kobo/custom-dict/.

The first pic is from my Libra Colour, and the second is from my Elipsa 1.

My LC is natively English, so highlighting Japanese words in vertical text is a bit fiddly. Doesn’t always work.

My Elipsa is natively Japanese and it doesn’t have the selection problems that the English language LC does.

I just chose two words at random. Is there something that you’re specifically looking for? You could probably just install it yourself and get the answer faster.
