Sideloading Dictionaries

Hi all, I am attempting to install (sideload) the monolingual Italian dictionary sourced from this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=196931 to my glo HD which I have upgraded to firmware 4.38.21908 (also sideloaded).

It seems that according to the 5th post of this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=3354058 this dictionary was present in firmware 3.17.3, I am willing to downgrade or do whatever necessary to get this working in the simplest manner possible (without connecting to WiFi).

I have attempted to follow the instructions in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=273820 however my libnickel.so.1.0.0.yalm file does not contain any "Allow searches on Extra dictionaries" option.

I have likewise consulted the information contained within this link https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/dicthtml/install.html however yet again there is no "Enable searches on extra dictionaries patch" to enable and install, the link (https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch...leases/tag/v84) does not contain any patch of this nature, neither do any of the configurable files in the patch contain any option to "enable searches of extra dictionaries".

I have also tried looking at dictutil https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/dictutil/install.html to no avail, where am I supposed to type this code into?

To say I'm confused and have no idea what is going on would be a gross understatement, so any help or clarification on these matters would be greatly appreciated, thanks
