Format for dictionaries

Open wikimatze opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

I have the following format for German spellchecking:

command -nargs=0 German call lexical#init({
                    \ 'spell': 1,
                    \ 'spelllang':  ['de_20'],
                    \ 'dictionary': ['~/.vim/spell/gerspchk.dict'],
                    \ 'thesaurus':  ['~/.vim/thesaurus/openthesaurus.txt'],
                    \ 'spellfile':  ['~/.vim/spell/de.utf-8.add'],
                    \ })

and somewhere I found a really big dicitionary for german called gerspchk.dict and was wondering why it didn't work.

The issue was, that the whole file was in one big line. Now each word is on one line and it working now

My suggestion: Would it make sense to create a seperate repository or directory, which contains thesaurus and dictionary for other languages? I was searching a while until I found a good German one.

Would it work if we provided links in the README to the originals, assuming they're at stable URLs?

That'd avoid the burden of having to maintain and update them.

Apologies for the delay. I've created a reminder for myself and will get to this soon.
