This is normal for dictionaries. It doesn't sound like it has failed. This conversion can sit at 47% 24+ hours or longer. If you click on jobs (lower right corner) you can open the job details window and view the progress. The biggest problem you run into with dictionaries is the possibility of running out of memory, if this happens the job will fail and provide an error in the job log.
