I know there are other ways to add dictionaries, but even after printing the relevant threads, it seems too complex for me.
Any idea why, or whether there are idiot proofs to solve that?

As of a fairly recent firmware upgrade all dictionaries now need to have an entry in the Kobo's SQLite database (\.kobo\KoboReader.sqlite)
Entries for dicthtml-de-fr and dicthtml-es-fr are not likely to be in there unless you have put them there yourself.
If you are able to install an SQLite editor on your PC (I use the free SQLiteSpy utility for Windows, but there are other options) it shouldn't be difficult to help you to create the necessary SQL command to add the necessary 2 rows to your Dictionary table. These manual additions should survive a firmware upgrade but not a factory reset.
I realise that this might sound complex
, but the good thing is that, if you copy your Kobo's KoboReader.sqlite file to your PC, you can practice using the SQLite editor without risk to the real file.
