I had two people messaging me to know I did decrypt Kobo's dictionaries. It was long ago so I don't remember very well, but I've some notes on my computer, so I probably used dictutils:

https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/dictutil/unpack.html
https://github.com/pgaskin/dictutil/releases/tag/v0.3.2

with this command:

./dictutil-linux-64bit unpack dicthtml-it.zip

and I got the input files following one of these links:

official kobo dictionaries: (to download dictionaries from kobo website)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=196931

custom dics: (to download the same dictionaries from mobileread.com)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=232883

The v1 dictionaries are served from download.kobobooks.com/ereader/dictionaries/dicthtml*.zip, while the v2 dictionaries are served from download.kobobooks.com/ereader/dictionaries/v2/dicthtml*.zip.

Then some notes point to:

Koreader dir: (formato StarDict)
/run/media/user/KOBOeReader/.adds/koreader/data/dict

Nickel dir: (formato html)
/run/media/user/KOBOeReader/.kobo/dict
