Can ⌘⌃D (dictionary function) be used with a different dictionary?

Was reading a French web page when it struck me that it would be HUGELY useful if the hovering look-up function (holding down CommandControlD over a word to see its definition from the Oxford dictionary or thesaurus that come with OS X) could work with a French-English dictionary. Is there any way to define what dictionary the function defaults to? Are other dictionaries available, and can they be added to the system? I mean, if hovering over an English word and getting an English definition is useful, think of how much MORE useful it would be (for English speakers) to get the definition of words in a language one doesn't know as well! Anybody know if this can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Other languages are not available for Dictionary.app. However there are other things that might meet your needs, like

  • Can multifunction printer functions be used with Express and bonjour?

    I'm using a Canon Pixma 830. It prints fine through airport express. I've hooked up the printer to the airport express using a usb cable.
    The question is. Can I use the other functions of the scanner using the bonjour/Express set up? I doesn't seem to work. I'm using a macbook so not hooking up the usb directly to the computer would be helpful. Thanks.

    Yes.

    my mom used my computer to sign into her itunes account and then i logged back into mine and tried to watch one of my movies and it said "this computer is already associated with an apple ID.You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading  past purchases.  It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer.  It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.

  • I have a smart rg router can a airport capsule be used with it

    can a airport utility be used with a smarter router

    The "smarter" router would need to have an available Ethernet port, and the Time Capsule would need to connect to the router that way permanently.
    If you can provide a few more details about what you are trying to accomplish, we can probably provide a better answer for you.

  • HT204387 Can a wireless mouse be used with the new IPAD?

    Can a wireless mouse be uses with the new iPad?

    While it is true that mice or other pointing device like track pads are not supported on the iPad since there is no real pointer, I use a stylus pen. I know it would probably tip over the iPad if you are standing it up, but it's the closest I've seen. I use the Wacom Bamboo stylus and a Zagg keyboard and the case for the iPad and keyboard. I use the stylus a lot on the Paper app to take notes in meetings and such. Not really a solution but if you are trying to move an insertion point in a document, it does work.

    Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
    If so what software do I need to buy?
    Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine.  It's not cheap though.  Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.
