Add Belarusian
Source: https://github.com/mikalai-udodau/spell-be
:pray: It is very convenient to work with dictionary-** convention on npm, but, as I see, there is a gap for Belarusian language which currently is a blocker in one of my recent projects.
Hi Yaroslav. Please see: https://github.com/wooorm/dictionaries#adding-a-new-dictionary
Notably, this does not add information on how to crawl the dictionary in the script. I could do that for you, separately.
However, 3 years of not updating, only 3 stars, that’s all a rather bad sign. It looks like the library isn’t used or maintained
@wooorm hopefully I understood your request and fixed my PR correctly. The generation/crawling part seemed tricky for me to sit with it for a long time, so I used another repo with ready-to-use *.dic and *.aff files for Debian (https://github.com/375gnu/hunspell-be).
I looked at this a bit, but I am rather unfomfortable with a) a dictionary that isn’t updated, b) an asset repo that might never get updates.
Can you ask if the assets can be maintained in that repo too? Or, as GH released if not in the master/main branch? That would also be a sign that it is still maintained. I can do the rest.
I don't quite understand. What do you mean by "assets can be maintained in that repo too"?
This dictionary is not super popular or frequently updated on github because it migrated there from sourceforge. And it's well beyond the early active development stage right now. Also LanguageTool is surely eating its lunch today as a spellchecker for Firefox and LibreOffice. But as far as Hunspell dictionaries for the Belarusian language are concerned, this dictionary is pretty decent and the only one with proper affixes.
@ssvb As the author of this PR, I don't really care about this situation anymore. I published the package already as dictionary-be on npm, so you can use it as expected
