Question

Under macOS 10.14.4, I've enabled the following dictionaries:

Yet, when I hid ⌃⌘D, I get the results as follows:

I would expect the results to show only American English dictionaries, and not British English.

Was it helpful?

Solution

This seems to be a bug that appears when you're switching languages. I know I had switched from British to American English at some point before.

What you have to do is:

  • Open Dictionary.app
  • Go to Preferences
  • Uncheck all dictionaries
  • Enable the ones that you need

Now the order is correct, and the British dictionary entries are gone from the results.
