I've also included the Kobo conversion of the dictionary. If someone would test that one on a Kobo, I would be quite grateful.

Example instructions are here.

Basically, you download the Kobo English-Dutch dictionary via the menu, connect the e-reader to your PC/laptop and browse for the directory .kobo/dict. You rename it to dicthtml.zip.backup and replace it with the dictionary that I compressed. (Be sure to unzip it, before you use it. I only used the zip-file to give it a comprehensive name.)

Point 7 and 8 from the linked howto:
Quote:
7. Now use zip compression to zip all your gzipped html files, and the words file, into a single file called dicthtml.zip, e.g.,

7z a -tzip dicthtml.zip *.html words

On Unix this is:

zip dicthtml.zip *html words

This will create a dictionary file that will replace the English dictionary on the Kobo. If you want to replace a different language dictionary, then use the appropriate suffix, e.g., dicthtml-de.zip for German, dicthtml-nl.zip for Dutch.

8. Copy the new dictionary file to the Kobo, into the directory .kobo/dict (backup the existing dictionary first!). You may need to open a book and then flip between dictionaries in order to get your new dictionary's index to be loaded and recognised by the Kobo (you only need to do this once after replacing the dictionary).
