Adding/Replacing my customized word dictionary to libreoffice spell checking

golden_boy615 · 04-23-2015, 11:07 AM

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to make new customized world dictionary for libreoffice spell checking. Does it have any sqlite file or something to replace? what is the format of that dictionary file to make ?
I mean I would like to make that file and add or completely replace that file with an existing dictionary file of an individual language.

thanks

The dictionaries come as two files, both plain text. The one ending .dic contains words and, optionally, a list of available affixes for each. The one with .aff (which can be an empty file) contains affixes and rules for using them.

You can search for them on you computer (I don't think anything else uses .aff) and examine the layout. There's a bit of documentation out there if you look: the Hunspell site and pages like
