On my Aura, after renaming the original dictionary, and replacing it with a modified/converted one (my thanks to "dimm"!), it at first didn't see it. It kept saying I didn't have an English dictionary installed. (Even after powering off and on.) It led me to "Manage Dictionaries", where I eventually got it to recognize the new one by unchecking the English dictionary, then clicking Save, then locating and checking the English dictionary again, and clicking Save again. Then it took a minute to update / load, and now I have (what is presumably) a new English dictionary. Seems to work fine.

So, if someone's replaced dictionary doesn't seem to "take" at first, you could try that.
