Here is a way to port Kindle4 dictionaries to the Kindle3.

You can download them to the PC by using the most recent K4PC amazon application, and while searching for a term, by selecting which dictionary to use (clicking the gear icon).

Locate the downloaded file on the PC by searching for *.azw. They will be in C:/users/your_user_account/My Documents/My Kindle Content

After using some help from Apprentice Alf (I can't be more specific here) load the *.mobi dictionaries to your Kindle3.

Voilà. The proper dictionary will be automaticaly invoked when searching a book which has the corresponding language in its metadata.
