They are not large dictionaries, the total number of headwords is about 100k , some english dictionaries are more headwords than that. The problems is prefix rules of Kobo dictionary make Chinese dictionary create a lot of html files (in this case is more than 65K files) which make Kobo software cannot recoginze it. Penelope method used to tried to solve this problem by giving option to reduced prefix to 1 instead of 2 letters. This option reduced number of html files for chinese dictionaries significantly (about 10K more files), but the kobo software failed to recognized such html files.
Kobo support Traditional Chinese however it don't have any built in Chinese dictionary so far. Maybe due to this problem? I don't know.
