Custom Dictionaries
This area displays the list of active dictionaries, which can be any of the following:
The built-in project-level and application-level dictionaries, which you populate by manually saving words to them.
Plain text files with the DIC extension, containing words separated with a new line.
Hunspell dictionaries, comprise two plain text files commonly sharing the same name, for example, en_GB.dic and en_GB.aff. The DIC file contains a list of words together with the applicable modification rules. The AFF file lists prefixes and suffixes regulated by a specific modification rule. Hunspell dictionaries can be easily obtained online, for example, here.
