You can still replace the space after "Extra:" with the patch but the "Extra:_" in front of the dictionary name is not shown anymore when you look up a word from an epub. Instead of e.g. "Extra:_da - English" now "Dansk - English" is shown in the drop-down menu (depends on what you used in the database). However, as soon as you choose it, the name changes to "English - English" and the well-known error message is shown: "You don't have an English dictionary installed." (the same as on an unpatched system).

I have quite a lot of "Extra:_" dictionaries installed, but all mine are single language Eng-Eng dictionaries rather than translation dictionaries.
I was able to get all mine working again by manually editing the
Name column of the
Dictionary table in the Kobo SQLite database. In the hope that you'll be able to extrapolate a similar solution for your translation dictionaries here is an example of the minor change I made for one of mine:
Before edit:
Suffix: -oc
Name: Eng_OxfordConcise
After edit:
Suffix: -oc
Name: Extra:_oc
You might need to do a full power off/on after changing the database.
After the change my dictionary drop-down menu shows
Extra:_oc as one of the items (
just like it did in fw 4.7.10413) and selecting it accesses the physical dictionary file
.kobo/dict/dicthtml-oc.zip
Hope this helps
