Dictionary / Calibre fail to change Language metadata

[jmesar]

Last week I found Kindle Touch SO take care of the languages dictionary metadata flag, and today I update my K3w to V3.4, and found it is doing the same.
Some time ago I download a Spanish dictionary (miniRAE-2246_r2.mobi 14MB) and it use to work fine (on K3w and K DX), but with the V3.4 update It no longer does, I discover that the dictionary languages metadata is on English while the book is in Spanish, the trouble is that Calibre fail to rebuild the MOBI file in order to change the metadata, calibre said the file is to long.
What can I do?

If you wish to change metadata ina file, simply change the metadata in
calibre and resend the file to your device. Or use the mobi2mobi command
line tool. If youwant to conver the dictionary, then you will need to
run calibre ona 64 bit linux or OS X machine, as it cannot convert
large documents on windows.

Doitsu:
Dictionaries work just fine after the 3.4 update. If they no longer work, it's most likely because they had the wrong Input Language metadata.

BTW, Kovid is right, this issue cannot be fixed in Calibre, because Calibre can only change the document language metadatata, which Kindles don't use for lookup, unless you look up a word in the dictionary itself.

The Kindle uses the Input Language metadata to select a dictionary; you'll need to edit your dictionaries with the Java Mobipocket Metadata Editor. Make sure that your dictionaries have Spanish as the dictionary Input Language.
@Doitsu:

English dictionaries are OK:


Nuevo Diccionario Inglés-Español 2011 (Spanish Edition) is OK
Oxford-Dictionary-of-English is OK
The-New-Oxford-American-Dictionary is OK

Spanish Dictionaries none..

Larousse (with Metadata Language= "Spanish") NOT
miniRAE-2246_r2 (with Metadata Language= "English") NOT


MobiMetaEditorV0.16.jar Work the miracle; Calibre do not show (at least by default) the fields "Dictionary Input" and "Dictionary Output" they were in both spanish dictionaries in en (1033), I change to es (10) and Worked!!!!!!

Thanks @Doitsu:
