Q: There is already a Dictionaries package for Sublime Text, why another ?
A: Dictionaries is a really cool package, but it is big (29 dictionaries, 23 different languages), and all variants are not included for each language. I want to provide a package that has only one main language (fr_FR) with its technical variants. For information, I also contribute to Dictionaries, to keep it up to date in concordance to this Package. Currently, the French dictionary version included in Dictionaries package is the same as the one provided here.
Q: Other languages ?
A: You are free to clone this repo, provide any language you wish and add your package to Sublime Package Control. If I'm not lazy enough, I might add one or two other languages, but not more.
Q: Can I contribute ?
A: If you want to add a newer version of the French dictionaries (fr_FR) you can submit a pull request. But I hope that I will be able to keep it up-to-date by myself.
Q: Why the fuck is all this not written in French ?!?
A: Even if I love the French language (my first language), I consider this page a little bit technical and I prefer to write technical stuff in English. Moreover I consider that people who want to add packages to Sublime Text are used to read English.
