Here is a image file that shows the type of display of the dictionaries with original and updated versions.
I wanted to give the users the ability to choose which version they want to use AND let them know that they might have been using the older version of the dictionaries.
For French/Français, "we" have access to
original - 4.0 versions
updated - 4.1 versions
other - two that are not one of the four that have updates.

Let me know what you think.
