What I am afraid of is that there will be bugs like those I had with Koreader dictionaries. I'm reluctant to go to such a lot of trouble with the possibility of no result or a mediocre outcome.
In any case, thank you once again for having made part of this process clearer in my mind.

I was afraid, as you, of doing it, but at the end it was easy and WORKS!.
I have used for a long time the trick of erasing the portuguese dictionary and install another spanish dictionary changing the name of the file. After each sync, it was replaced by the original one.
I was tired of doing the change many times, so finally, I tried the method of installing new (fake) languages.
Using the database editor is very easy, and again, do a complete kobo backup (specially the database and config file), and if something goes wrong, you can recover the latest status.
I am very happy with my two new spanish dictionaries, that work very well and will not be erased after any update or sync. I think that the post with the instructions has also a link to many dictionaries in kobo format.
Furthermore, with a program called penelope is also easy to convert stardict dictionaries to kobo format, but this is another history ...
