Change the definition language in spotlight

Hello,

Currently, I am living in Indonesia and my MacBook language was set into English.

When I insert some word in spotlight, is it possible if I get definition other than English? I had inputed English-Indonesia dictionary into Dictionary.App.

And put in the first row.

How do I change the definition in spotlight so it will shown the translation?

MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Spotlight gets its definitions from the first source in the source list of Dictionary.app's preferences. Try to drag your desired dictionary to the top of the list, and its definitions will be used in Spotlight.
