LibreOffice has many dictionaries. These are hunspell dictionaries. By packaging these as hunspell dictionaries, firefox and thunderbird would also benefit. Only a few languages are currenlty packaged.

git tree of the dictionaries;

link to packaged dictionaries sources:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/5.0.2/libreoffice-dictionaries-5.0.2.2.tar.xz

The files are packaged like this:
libreoffice-5.0.2.2/dictionaries/nl_NL/
libreoffice-5.0.2.2/dictionaries/nl_NL/hyph_nl_NL.dic

I thought Firefox and Thunderbird get dictonaries primarily as add-ons (that's how I get them at least).

Using extensions is one way of installing dictionaries. LibreOffice and Firefox can also use system dictionaries.

(triage) status?

It would be nice if dictionaries would come as nix packages.

@vandenoever Could you do the packaging? I would like to see this as well.

Not at the moment, but perhaps in a few weeks.

That would be awesome. Because I suspect this kind of thing would be quite far down the wishlist for most contributors. So if you want to see it done you will probably have to do it yourself.

Would this be fixed by #14430? If so then I suggest we close this issue.

Yes, #14430 is the same.
