Well, then it is the usual case of confusing to completely unrelated
topics, which are:
- dictionaries pre-installed and/or downloadable
and
- the user-dictionaries which can be editetd by the user via the UI

The 'standard' dictionary is one of the latter and thus what I have said
does not apply to it!
User dictionaries (the writable ones!) are locate in the user-layer of
the installation in the user/wordbook sub-directory. You can make
backups of those by simply copying them.
