my Kobo Glo decides which dictionary to use by looking at both the Glo's default language and the language of the book. i noticed that the Glo correctly determines the dictionary to use if the language of the book is in lowercase. Unfortunately, each book's language is stored in the Glo's database and can't be changed easily. If the language for your book is in lowercase, it chooses that dictionary (so 'pt' would choose the Portuguese dictionary, but 'PT' will choose the dictionary of the Glo's default language, which in my case is English).

to fix this, you need to open the Glo's database in sqlite3 and update the language for the book to be lowercase. the database is at /.kobo/KoboReader.sqlite. Look at the language column of the content table.
