I bought this about a year ago and I do not like it. If you are trying to use it to spell a word, 9 out of ten times it can not find it. I would never buy it again.

Since I am a student of Spanish, still learning, please take my answer to your question in that light. It appears that the dictionary includes both Western Hemisphere and Spanish translations. For example it shows Vosotros conjugations which are now used only in Spain but it also will note when their translation of a certain word is unique to Mexico.

If I understand your question rightly, yes it does. So far I am very pleased with it. I has far more than I will ever need: a medical dictionary, an economics dictionary and more. It has all kinds of translation permutations. I would recommend it.

The dictionaries that are used can vary between games. For example, the most advanced, international English language dictionary used is Collins, which may account for Dave Seaton pointing out that level 4 will play 4-6 words he has never heard of. One problem in deciding which version to purchase is that the dictionaries are never clearly identified. And even Collins just ran an article that they are adding another 5000 words! Merriam-Webster is an American English dictionary with far less words, and then there are still more variants. I'm not happy at all with the 2002 and the 2006 Scrabble CDs I have. The number of words is just too limited. The dictionaries that are used can vary between games.

Yes, there is. If you long press on a word, a definition appears in a popup screen. It appears just as a dictionary with pronunciation, part of speech, and multiple definitions ranked by use.

I note that some of the Chinese dictionaries contain some English words and definitions - but nothing more than several words that start with the letter "a." Apparently the Dictionary file is a hidden file, because it is not there when I plug it into the computer and try to access the files there. I noted that the Ebooks will take only .txt or .lrc files. I downloaded an epub dictionary on my PC and converted it to a .txt file. Since I cannot find the Dictionary file, I put it in the Ebook file, which would open it; but it does not have the application to run it as a dictionary, so it showed everything, including the html formatting. I use mine mostly for the music. I note that some of the Chinese dictionaries contain some English words and definitions - but nothing more than several words that start with the letter "a."

Like all dictionaries that I have ever seen, it gives the meanings of words. Some conversational expressions are provided; but one has to learn the language elsewhere in order to translate whole sentences.

It says "England 1759" on the bottom of the plates. Don't if this helps or not.
