There is nothing special about this language combination and I can't reproduce this error. Sorry, I genuinely don't know why this error happens.

Thanks for checking, I'll fiddle around further, it's probably my setup.
Incidentally, what is the actual difference between selecting "Chinese" or "Simplified Chinese" as the gloss language -- I assume one is using the Kindle default definitions file and the other is pulling from Wiktionary? Or is there something more?

[mizake-mizan]

Second question:

Set Word Wise language to Chinese on Kindle to view Wiktionary definition. WordDumb replaces the original Chinese Kindle Word Wise database file when the “Use Wiktionary defination” option is enabled for English books or creating Word Wise for non-English books.

Is the original database file overwritten, or still available? In other words, if I switch back and forth between a few languages, do I need to consider restoring the original Chinese file? Does the approach you have taken even support using two different Word Wise language pairs/dictionaries at the same time?

[xxyzz]

"Chinese" are "Simplified Chinese" are the same if you don't enable "use Wiktionary definition", but if you enable this option, the gloss will be in different Chinese characters.

The Word Wise database file on Kindle will be overwritten. If you enable "use Wiktionary definition", new database file will be copied to Kindle if the previous database is in a different language. The Kindle's default db have to be restored manually.

That'll help me figure out what is happening -- can close this ticket.
