Kindle: Change the language of the dictionary
Kindle automatically uses the dictionary of the language used in the book. This tip explains how to change this.
Change Kindle dictionary
If you have installed several different dictionaries on your eBook reader, you can select one as standard.
- Start your Kindle and go to the main menu.
- Open the menu (either by pressing the menu button (three bars) or on Kindle Paperwhite by tapping on the top of the screen) and click on "Settings".
- Find the entry "Dictionaries" (mostly on page 3) and select "Edit".
- Select a language, then you can choose one of the installed dictionaries.
- If you need more dictionaries, you can buy them from the Kindle Store.
