I have a Kobo Glo HD with firmware 4.19.14123

(Just seeking clarifications before I attempt to install a Chinese-English dictionary. I didn't want to try, in case I mess things up and cannot revert.)

- If I copy a dicthtml-jaxxdjs.zip into .kobo/dict/ on my Kobo, will there be an added entry on the KOBO > SETTINGS > LANGUAGE AND DICTIONARIES > DICTIONARY section, for me to select as CHINESE-ENGLISH?

- If not, how do I use a custom installed CHINESE-ENGLISH dictionary?

- I read somewhere on this thread that one has to "change the language to Japanese". Is the place to do this at KOBO > SETTINGS > LANGUAGE AND DICTIONARIES > SELECT YOUR LANGUAGE? If yes, then doesn't this simply change the language of the interface? If not, how do I do this?

- I would like to be able to switch between ENGLISH-ENGLISH and CHINESE-ENGLISH dictionaries on my KOBO since I will have both English and Chinese ebooks. Is this possible after installing dicthtml-jaxxdjs.zip?

Thanks for any answers.
