If you buy a current eInk model and register it, you'll be able to download all dictionaries in my spoiler list.
(Disclaimer: This worked for my PW2 and other models, but Amazon might theoretically limit dictionary downloads for new models. However, I haven't heard of such a case. If you want to be absolutely sure contact Amazon customer service and ask them whether these downloads are still available.)

If you don't buy a Kindle, you can only download the default monolingual English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese dictionaries with the Kindle apps.

It's not that difficult actually. For example, to download the Spanish-English dictionary, you'll have to log in to your Amazon account and select the following:

Digital Contents > Manage Your Contents and Devices > Books > Dictionaries & User Guides > Oxford Spanish - English Dictionary > Deliver

(The dictionary will be automatically downloaded to your Kinde the next time you connect to your Amazon account via Wifi.)
