By conventions, all dictionary files need to be
- placed in the local
etc/
directory, - called
LANG_COUNTRY.zhfst
, - and, of couse, be valid (stored, without compression) ZHFST files.
You can find several dictionaries on divvun.no. Many are under the GPL, for some there is no license specified, though.
Assuming you accept the respective licensing terms, you can e.g. use
$ curl http://divvun.no/static_files/zhfsts/se.zhfst > "etc/sme_NO.zhfst"
$ curl http://divvun.no/static_files/zhfsts/smj.zhfst > "etc/smj_NO.zhfst"
$ curl http://divvun.no/static_files/zhfsts/sma.zhfst > "etc/sma_NO.zhfst"
to download the files for Northern, South, and Lule Sámi.
