Spanish dictionary for ibooks

I use iBooks for Spanish books.  On my iPad I easily associate iBooks with a built-in Spanish dictioinary.  This must exist in my new Mavericks Mac operating system but I cannot see how to load it.  Also, my iBooks are not sychronized between iMac and iPad.  Any ideas?

Thanks, Tom - this is helpful.  However, the selection this app gives me is four English-language dictionaries when I select "All":  New Oxford American Dictionary, Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus, Apple Dictionary and Wikipedia.  I know there are dictionaries in other languages lurking in there somewhere, and they are readily available on iPad.  But where do I find them in Mavericks?

  • Dictionary for iBooks on iPad

    One disappointment for iPad has been that I am unable to find how the dictionary works, or if there is even a dictionary. On my Kindle, it wa as easy as putting the curser over any unfamiliar word. Is any such similar feature available for iBooks on iPad ?( I purchased The New Oxford american Dictionary on Amazon.com)

    Hi,

    I've had good luck using the instructions at that link. The iPad uses a built in dictionary.
    Works on PDF files as well.

  • How do get a dictionary for ibook app?

    I just bought the iPad 4 and added the iBook app (version 3.1) and it is not able to define words.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?  The app works great on my iPod (4th gen)

    Go through the steps in here and see if you can fix it. Don't let the word "purchased" throw you off.

  • Dictionary in iBooks

    Hello,
    If I touched a word in the book I am reading, comes some options related to that word; one is Dictionary. If I choose it, comes a error message: "Dictionary not available for this language". How come? I am reading a book in English. I would like to have 2 dictionaries — in English and in Portuguese. I would understand if the Portuguese dictionary were not available but I can not believe that even the English one is not available.
    In my iPhone 3G apps, appear "Dictionary.com" and "Dicionário Priberam".
    They should work as when I am reading on the web on my Mac. I press the shortcut for the dictionary clicking on a word and the meaning of the word appears. What can I do?

    If those apps don't work the way they are supposed to, you need to contact the people who made them.
    Apple's built in dictionary for iBooks is only English and Japanese.  Is the English book you are reading an epub version?  It should work.  Have you tried other English Books?  Have you tried resetting your device?

  • Transcription definition for ipad built-in dictionary in iBooks

    Could you please give me information where i can find Pronunciation Symbols (transcription definition) for ipad built-in dictionary in iBooks?

    Take a look at the ios4 upgrade for the iPad coming in November, keyboard and dictionary. 
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/software-update/
    I don't know if this means a separate dictionary for the iPad. If so, I dough third party apps will have access to the dictionary. Third party app developers would probably need to build a dictionary function into their app. Who knows...? We won't untill ios4 comes out.
    You can give Apple feedback for the ipad about you idea:

  • Multilanguage Support for iBooks

    I have downloaded a variety of English, French and Spanish books but the dictionary feature only works for English words. How do I enable more (well, actually, a normal amount of) functionality for these other languages? How do the rest of you multi linguists out there handle this?

    How do I enable more
    There are no more to enable. Apple only provides English and Japanese dictionaries for iBooks. It is stated in their FAQ:

  • How can I install an English-Spanish dictionary built-in?

    I've tried to install some English-Spanish dictionary to use it to read in English. I am a beginner student and I need some help. I know this is possible in Amazon's Kindle, but not in their application to ipad. How can I do this In IBooks? I don't understand the reason why it seems to be impossible: copyrights, software licenses? Really I like IBooks but I think this is a great handicap. Should I buy a Kindle to do this? I hope for your help. And sorry, could be lots of mistakes in my post... I'm an beginner English student. Thanks

    The Kindle app for iOS doesn't have this function either. If you mean a Kindle device, perhaps, but verify it is an available function on it as well. I suspect most eBook reading apps will be limited to defining rather than translating.
    The app store does have several translation apps.

  • HT5557 Is there a way to install a Portuguese dictionary in iBooks?

    Is there a way to install a Portuguese dictionary in iBooks? I understand it only has English, German, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese.

    I don't think that Portuguese is an option yet - as well as the ones that you list I also see (by selecting a word in an ibook, then 'define' on the popup, and then 'manage') Korean, Korean-to-English, Italian, Dutch, Simplified Chinese-to-English, Japanese and Japanese-to-English, as being downloadable but not Portuguese. Assuming that you also don't get an option to download a Portuguese dictionary via that then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html

  • Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook.  This is very frustrating.  What can be done to fix this issue?

    Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook.  This is very frustrating.  What can be done to fix this issue?

    I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
    If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
    First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
    If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
    If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

  • Iphone and installing an English/Spanish Dictionary

    I am looking for a way to put an English/Spanish dictionary on my iphone. My guess is that I need to purchase an English/Spanish dictionary CD Book. Any suggestions of where I might purchase something like this or is there a better solution? I want to be able to use it without being on the internet. Thanks,

    For now I'd recommend going online and finding a webpage that translates English to Spanish reliably and then use that. You could even add the icon to you your home screen if you've got the 1.1.3 update. Since you've got the edge for internet this could work pretty well for you.
