Change default Dictionary for "Word of the Day" screensaver

Good day, I'd like to change the Word of the Day Screen saver Dictionary from English to German. In the options screen for the word of the day screen saver I can currently only select Automatic, New Oxford American or Japanese. I have installed a German dictionary (dict.cc) and it seems to work fine. In system preferences > Language & Text I do have "Deutsch" listed as my second language. Sadly I just cant seem to get the German dictionary option in the screen saver options menu.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Pete.

I think you might need to install a German module in Dictionary.app.

Thank you Tom! I did install the plugin(downloaded from beolingus) and it works fine but still no joy in having an option to select German Dictionary for my word of the day screensaver 😕. I'll have to keep working on it.

Thanks again and btw, nice blog, I'll visit it often!
