Note that dictionaries have
3 language metadata entries (document language, input language and output language). Unfortunately, only the document language, which has no effect on dictionary selection, is shown in Calibre.
AFAIK, only
Java Mobi Metadata Editor displays all of these metadata entries. (For example, in the French dictionary that you have all of these entries are coincidentally set to French.)
Note that unless a default dictionary has been defined, the K3.4 firmware will always select a dictionary based on the dictionary input language of the dictionary. I.e. changing the document language of a mobi dictionary file is rather pointless.
I have multiple custom dictionaries installed on my K3.4 and all of them are correctly selected if the document language matches the dictionary input language language.
