Brilliant! Thanks so much for this. I have a Dutch-English dictionary, but my K4 wasn't letting me set a default dictionary for Dutch. I used your program to look at the French-English dictionary (which does work), saw that it had a record 105 (subject) that the Dutch one lacked and whose value was "dictionaries." I added that to the Dutch one, and presto!

This has been a real pain in the neck, since my Dutch isn't fantastic, so I need to look up words pretty often.

One thing I noticed: all of my Dutch books have Dutch as the language in the metadata (regulated with Calibre), and the K4 recognizes them as Dutch and selects the right dictionary (now!). But in Mobi Meta Editor, the language shows up as Unknown (19). Just FYI.
