Contrary to what has already been said, the answer is: yes.
But only if you know how to de-DRM Mobipocket dictionaries (there are threads about this on Mobileread, but you have to search for exact procedure elsewhere, so as not to provoke the corporate rage).
Once you know how, it works as simple as it could be. I have several bilingual dictionaries on my Kindle and in fact K3 can also recognize the document language (if it is set in the properties), so I do not even have to manually set different dictionaries for different documents.
A Fr-En dictionary I use is this one:

Alternatively, you can produce your own dictionary from a Stardict dictionary database (also discussed earlier on Mobileread, eg. here:
