I used to be able to right-click a word and select Look Up to get definitions in previous OS. After upgrading to Catalina I now have Wikipedia as the only source in the Dictionary App and don't see an option to add other dictionaries.
Thanks in advance for your input.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
I had this problem but solved it using a Time Machine backup from before I updated. I had updated to Catalina (10.15.4) from Sierra when the problem arose.
I have attached a photo of the file path for ease.
i don't have a backup on my mac
I don't have a time machine backup.
This didn't work for me.
This does not help as I don't have a time machine back-up, how else can I get the dics onto this machine?
Didn't work for me
I've got the same problem.
I couldn't find a solution yet :[
I don't have a backup either :{
I had not known about this issue before I updated so now what do I do?
I don't have a Time Machine backup. Where can I download the .dictionary files? Maybe someone can dropbox theres?
As someone who also upgraded from Yosemite to Catalina this was the required solution for me as well. Thank you!
Called Apple Support, they had no idea what I was talking about. How???!!!!!
Yes. All I see is just one option (wikipedia). I am missing the .dictionary files. Any ideas on where I can download them without resetting the OS.
Any other suggestions?
Hi i cant find it either. can u please help me. this sucks :(
i didnt have a backup either with time machine. how can i get the oxford dictionary???
yes just wikipedia.
I would guess that people didn’t do this out of an excess of caution: worries about infected files, hacking, and so on.
Anyway, thanks for doing it! 😊😊
Wikipedia is the only dictionary source after upgrading to macOS Catalina.
