Here is that patch updated for firmware 3.15.0. Some said that this patch doesn't work, and I don't use custom dictionaries myself so I've just updated the locations, it hasn't been tested.
Spoiler:

What tools do you use to find the right places to patch?
|
For patches like this one where it is just text strings I just use a hex editor (Emacs in hexl-mode, but any hex editor would do.) If you have GNU binutils you could also use the 'strings' command.
For patches which alter the code itself I use a disassembler ('objdump' from GNU binutils.)
