Why there are countless other threads, tools, and tutorials instructing people to do otherwise is beyond me, as I wasted 4 days trying to figure this out patching this editing that customising SQL tables changing firmwares when all I had to do was copy and paste the file. Hopefully this thread will be useful to someone in the future to save them the agony of what I've just put myself through.

I also pasted in custom wikitionary dictionaries which work perfectly along with the normal v3 dictionary.

Can someone please post me the link for the Spanish v3 monolingual dictionary, the link in the main thread is broken. Cheers

As I started reading this thread today, I was wondering why you were making it so hard on yourself. Kobo implemented the change for dictionaries a few years back. Then you explained your approach.

One of the problems with this website is that it’s as old as forever. It’s easy to find ancient threads without realizing that they’re ancient. It’s a mistake you only make once, but I’m sure we’ve all gone down the wrong rabbit hole before. I’m glad you figured things out and got it working.
