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.
Thank you so much for sharing the files. Good solution when you don't have a backup.
Thanks. My dictionary only had Wikipedia and now it's fixed.
I had another work around since I upgraded from Yosemite to Catalina. I hope this would help others as well.
In my Time Machine backup from Yosemite, I didn't have the same folder structure where the the Dictionaries are stored.
Instead they were in MacintoshHD/Library/Dictionaries/
I copied all those .dictionary Files into the Dictionary Folder of the Dictionary App
You can access that by Opening the Dictionary App and Go to File > Open Dictionaries Folder
Then simply copy all the .dictionary files in there.
Quit Dictionary App and Open it again then go to Preferences or CMD + , (shortcut). There you can check all the Dictionaries you want to use.
Thanks so much guys! I had to go through different support threads but you all helped.
Wikipedia is the only dictionary source after upgrading to macOS Catalina.
