I just discovered that you could also make a file with the format of dicthtml-xx-xx-yyyyy.zip where yyyyy is any string (so for example, dicthtml-en-en-wordnet.zip or dicthtml-en-en-gcide.zip, etc.) and they'll also show up in the menu (in this case, as English - English (Custom)), which is really cool. They'll all have the same name in the menu though and I don't know if there's a limit to the number you can have installed at the same time, but it would appear that you can now have multiple English (or any) language dictionaries without modifying locales, which is great if you don't want to have to merge multiple dictionaries together under the old way. But I only tested with English as the source language; haven't tried others yet.
