That is why I was hoping to add a number, such as dicthtml-es1-es.zip or something similar.
The name of the primary Spanish dictionary is dicthtml-es.zip.

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.
The purpose of these file names is to inform you about the languages that are actually handled by these dictionaries. So that you can simply distinguish and identify them if you store them somewhere for later usage. But in order to make these dictionaries work on your kobo device you have to rename them using the above mentioned language codes.

There is not risk in experimenting with the dictionary names. However, you take a little risk when you try to manipulate the database entries that concern the dictionaries. But nothing will happen that you cannot repair again.
