If you're referring to the Paperwhite (or Kindle Touch), it is going to use the default dictionary for the UI language for any dictionary search initiated from the menu bar.
But if you select a word in a book you are reading, it will attempt to find a dictionary corresponding to the language set in the book metadata (not sure it pays attention to lang attribute applied to the HTML tag containing the text, have been meaning to try that). If you have more than one dictionary available for a given language, it will check at least two of them before it gives up searching (I think it will check any/all such dictionaries but would need to verify that). Where there are more than one per language, you get to designate one as 'default'.
And of course if you open a dictionary (directly or via 'show full definition') you can search it for any word in there from the search bar (using 'index items' search).
