Q: Where is the dictionary folder in Sierra

Hi community.

I have clean-installed Sierra on my Mac. Afterwards, I want to add some of my customized dictionaries to the dictionary.app. In earlier os X, there is a "Dictionaries" folder under the /Library with all the system default dictionaries like English, German and Japanese. But now in Sierra, that folder is gone!

So do you have any ideas, where should I put my dictionaries under Sierra now please? Thank you very much!

MacBook Pro 13.3 inch 2.53 Gz, Mac OS X (10.7)

Please click the "go" button, and find the dictionary files as you said, then check the size of it.

Your answer can be called "solved"?

On a related note, where has the dictionary functionality in Sherlock gone? If I typed a word in Sherlock, its dictionary entry used to appear at the bottom on the search results, but no longer. Do I need to do something in MacOS Sierra to reenable this feature? Thanks.
