How to change default dictionary in IOS


Why Change Your Dictionary?

  • Your language is not currently supported.
  • You are not satisfied with the default dictionary.

Steps to Change the Dictionary:

  1. Install afc2add:

    • Open Cydia on your device.
    • If you haven't already installed it, search for and install afc2add. This tool allows you to access the file system.
  2. Navigate to the Dictionary Folder:

    • Use a file explorer tool (e.g., iTools or iFunBox) to access the following path:
      /var/mobile/Library/Assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_DictionaryServices_dictionary2
    • Inside this directory, you'll see a list of dictionaries. Open one of the folders and navigate to AssetData.
    • In the AssetData folder, you will find the dictionary name. Proceed to the Contents folder within it.
    • Delete the existing files in the Contents folder and replace them with the files of your intended dictionary.
  3. Finding Dictionary Content:

    • You can obtain dictionary contents from various sources:
      • Some dictionary applications may provide the files.
      • Open-source dictionaries.
      • Other available resources.

    Good luck!
