French-English dictionary not visible

Aura HD running 3.18.0 firmware. When I bring up the dictionary and tap on Language, as well as English I see German-English, Italian-English, Spanish-English, and Portuguese-English. French-English doesn't appear. However, when I plug the reader into my PC and have a look in the .kobo/dict folder, the French-English dictionary file *is* there. A directory listing of the folder shows the following files:

14/08/2015 15:15 1,666,763 dicthtml-es-en.zip
14/08/2015 15:15 3,226,343 dicthtml-pt-en.zip
14/08/2015 15:15 926,221 dicthtml-de-en.zip
14/08/2015 15:15 1,586,132 dicthtml-fr-en.zip
14/08/2015 15:15 1,019,627 dicthtml-it-en.zip
14/08/2015 15:15 7,010,221 dicthtml.zip


How can I get the French-English dictionary to appear in the selection of dictionaries?

p.s. I should mention, the problem only happens when I do a search from the home page and select "Dictionary", or when I select "Dictionary" from the bottom right menu after tapping in the centre of a page while reading a book. If I highlight a word in a book and then tap the language selection in the popup definition, French-English *does* appear as one of the language choices. However, if I want to look up an arbitrary French word that is not on the page I am reading, I can't, because French-English doesn't appear as one of the language choices.
