When I type a word in my dictionary, it says it can't be found. It doesn't function anymore, it has lost all options except for Wikipedia. I don't know what to do. I tried uninstalling it, but the system won't allow it. Is there anything I can do?

To add more languages, start Dictionary then go to Dictionary > Preferences and add the required dictionary by checking the boxes. Restart the application and you will have the possibility to use the dictionaries you have checked.

The updates for built-in applications can be checked from the Finder > Apple Logo > Software Update. If the updater does not list Dictionary, then there is no updated available.
