In the picture attached, it is 04 09, then 09, then again 09. 09 is English, 04 09 is American English. I found in my tests with dictionaries that patching these to English I don't have problems and no more error messages: "can't open the default dictionary".

It works! I've never used a hex editor before, but that was
very easy. Now I have a dictionary I can use
Thank you!
EDIT: I used a German to English dictionary only, not a combined, 'both-ways' dictionary.
