Under the GoldenDict GUI, you can go into:

Menu => Edit => Dictionaries => Dictionaries

There you can see the list of dictionaries available on your setup.
Assuming you have both the packages installed, try clicking on each. The right
hand side area should show the dictionary information.

Screenshot attached.

THis one too can be explained with the screenshot.

Maybe it is because of the format the databases are generated in, even if they
are generated from the same source.
