And forcing behavior by guessing how the algorithm is to get a certain dictionary is bad.

As I said before, the Odyssey selects the language by looking at the ebook's language metadatum. That's why (as the current state of the thing) you cannot have EN-EN and, say, EN-FR at the same time. Otherwise the mechanism you wrote takes over: if there is bilingual dictionary (e.g. EN-FR) ending in your device's language (e.g. FR) then it will have priority over the monolingual (e.g. EN-EN).
So, right now, all you can do is either setting a different interface language for your device or keep copying/deleting the relevant dictionaries to/from your Odyssey.
I agree that automatic selection of the dictionary + possibility to manually change it would be a better option.
