Simply at first try to load it from koreader folder (or koreader/android ?), and if not found, use the default one from /data/data/org.koreader.launcher/files/frontend/device/android/discionaries.lua ...
This would make experimenting with 3rd party dictionary apps much more easy
Thanks, Norbert

Sounds nice but I'm not interested
.
IMO the list of dicts is not something worth custom settings. It takes less than 1 millisecond to check if each app of the list is installed and enabled, and that check is only performed once during the lifetime of the application.
Your best bet is to request specific dict apps or rebuild KO yourself with the changes you need. The current implementation, albeit very basic, should be able to open most of 3rd party applications. Some of them need custom intents and they need a modification in
https://github.com/koreader/android-...IntentUtils.kt and thus require a rebuild to work.
Feel free to open a new ticket on the issue tracker if you wish. It might be possible to override the dict list without rebuilding somehow, but I have no idea.
Aaand, if you manage to get a new dict working with KO please give us feedback so we can add it to the list bundled with the application and other users can benefit too. Thanks!
