Project mention: How to convert Kobo dictionaries to Kindle supported format (FR-FR specifically), for side loading into the latter? | /r/Calibre | 2023-12-09

I just stumbled across Kobo dictionaries, but none in a format which could be imported into Calibre, for further upload to Kindle. Copying the actual files or directories obtained by extraction of one of the Kobo dictionaries, into the documents directories of Kindle (as I've done to Littré and Roberts, to make them avail in the dictionary settings of Kindle) leads nowhere, either, so I am pretty much stuck.
