Greetings!

I noticed a thing. Before firmware 4.20.x, whenever I synced my books with Kobo Desktop I needed to re-apply the three dictionaries that I use, downloaded in this thread (thanks a bunch to anyone who made this possible!).
Now I read that if you set the dictionary file read only (with fw 4.20.x), it should remain where is after you synced. I tried and it works.
But there's a difference (and is better): before the dictionaries I used were a bit of a mess. They displayed poor formatted, every word and punctuation attached, with no space and order. Now it's all clean and easy to read! I would like to ask if somebody knows, why?
I'd like to understand, so I'd be able to continue using the dictionaries in this state that I like very much.

Kobo Clara HD, english, english - italian, italian dictionaries taken from the first post, or in this thread.

Thanks in advance
