I don't know if this was true before, but I've just created an Spanish/Spanish dictionary (following the steps in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=148695 and setting the dc:Language to ES, and input/output language to es) and after loading it to the Kindle (with firmware 3.0.3), the kindle used my spanish dictionary for books where the language is correctly set to spanish and used the Oxford one for books in English. It uses the default dictionary for books with no language set.

This works great!
