Does anyone have good recommendations for foreign-language dictionaries for the eReaders? Or do you know of any to avoid?
I downloaded the Merriam-Webster French-English dictionary, and it is a fantastic tool with one fatal flaw: it does not recognize contractions. e.g.: the dictionary will recognize a word like "argent," but not "l'argent." I haven't found a way around this. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I downloaded an App called iReaderStudy a while back for the iPad. I don't know what other platforms it is available on.
It has built in dictionaries for a number of languages. Seems OK but for some reason I don't use it much. (Probably too much time surfing this site or Wikipedia.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The Marriam Webster dictionary for my kindle touch works great in German. I'd say it's
one flaw is that it's quite bad at compound words (which is pretty often) but most of the time you can figure those out based on the context and the basic nature of the German language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have a dictionary for Italian and two for Latin on my kindle and all three work perfectly. You might want to do
a google search for kindle dictionaries since this was how I found the Lewis and Short Latin dictionary. It came as a .prc file on someones website and I side-loaded it. Hope you are able to find one that works better for French. 1 person has voted this message useful |
