Thank you very much Tshering, for this precise information and for the list.

I am somewhat surprised by your suggestion of dicthtml-es-es.zip as a possible second Spanish dictionary.

I have very little knowledge of computing, but I would have thought that it was not possible to have two files with the same name and dicthtml-es-es.zip is, I believe, the name of the original Kobo Spanish dictionary, which I wish to keep as my primary Spanish dictionary. That is why I was hoping to add a number, such as dicthtml-es1-es.zip or something similar.

I have noticed a post by Alpe at 02-03-2014, 11:44 PM (I don't know how to quote it otherwise) that indicates the existence of custom dictionaries in many languages that are not on your list. It would appear from Alpe's post, for example, that Latin might use the form dicthtml-la-la.zip and I have been thinking of this as a possible "fake" Latin dictionary to be my second Spanish Dictionary with dicthtml-la-en.zip as a second Spanish-English dictionary.

Do you think I could try this without too much risk ?

Thank you once again for your informed advice.
Rojofo.
