Unfortunately, that trick doesn't work with the Kindle for PC app, you'll also have to change/add the ASIN number(s).
@itfs:
You can override any of the existing default dictionaries with your own dictionary.
1. Download
Java Mobi Metadata Editor and open the dictionary that you want to replace to find out its ASIN number. (It's usually the first part of the file name.) Let's assume you want to replace the NOA English dictionary. (It's ASIN number is B003ODIZL6.)
2. Open your custom dictionary with Java Mobi Metadata Editor, click the plus sign, select Type 113 and enter B003ODIZL6; enter the same value for Type 504.
3. Save the updated dictionary and rename it to B003ODIZL6_EBOK.azw. Locate the existing NOA English dictionary in the My Kindle Documents folder and delete it, including the .phl and .mbp files.
4. Copy your dictionary to the My Kindle Documents folder.
The next time you select the NOA English dictionary, you should get the definitions from your dictionary.
