You'd want to copy the file to ".kobo/dict" as-is, add "ExtraLocales=wb" to "Kobo eReader.conf", then enable the "Enable searches on extra dictionaries" patch (to work around a bug in the firmware).

Alternatively, these steps can be done for you by downloading dictutil, opening a Command Prompt, and running "dictutil install dicthtml-wb.zip".

See here for more details.
