Dictionaries

Note that normal, canonical, and preferred BCP-47 codes are used. To illustrate, as American English and Brazilian Portuguese are the most common types of English and Portuguese respectively, they get the codes en and pt.

Important: this project itself is MIT, but each index.dic and index.aff file still has its original license!

macOS

Each dictionary can be installed on OS X by following this StackExchange answer.

Build

I’ve only tested this on macOS, but there you at least need to install:

wget: brew install wget (crawling)
hunspell: brew install hunspell (many dictionaries)
coreutils: brew install coreutils (many dictionaries)
ispell: brew install ispell (German)

Note that the GNU replacements should be setup in PATH to overwrite macOS defaults.

Contributing

Dictionaries can be added if they:

have a significant affix file (not just a .dic file)
have an open source license
are convertible to UTF-8 with iconv(1)

The crawling and building is done in script/crawl.sh. Add code there, similar to the existing ones, to include new dictionaries.

License

See license files in each dictionary for the licensing of index.dic and index.aff files.
