Update the French dictionnary

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Can you update the French dictionary ? The most up-to-date and open-source French dictionary is available on https://grammalecte.net/download.php?prj=fr. (It's the one used by Firefox and LibreOffice)

@kevina Sorry to tag you, but you seem to be the last updater of the french dict and an active developer of Aspell. I found that the french dictionary is indeed 20 years old and it lacks a lot of anglicism and neologism that are now very common. Certain services like https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf use Aspell as a backend for spellchecking and might be interested in helping with the update. The Hunspell 7.0 French dictionaries could be a good starting point. I could also help if indicated on how to proceed. Thanks in advance
