English, Spanish, Germain, Italian, and Portogeese are supported for the touch. As far as I know all languages are supported on the kindle keyboard (currently owner of the kindle dx), but other languages than those mentioned is not supported by the touch. There is however a workaround by setting the i.e. Norwegian book and the dictionary to english to that the touch treats it as an english book and you may use ut. Norwegian dictionaries are more rare and you may need to convert an existing dicitonary.
