Frequency and process of dictionary update

Hi, I just have a quick question about the dictionary update. How frequently does the dictionaries get updated? and I read in the README that using DictionaryPC repo we can generate dictionary but it doesn't say how to load it in the app or what to do if I want to make that generated dictionary available for others to be downloaded vai dictionary manager. Say I want to add a few words in English-Arabic dictionary and publish it for others. What would be the process? Thanks in advance.

You can send people the .zip file generated via DictionaryPC and install it that way.
For official updates I would need to re-generate the dictionary from Wiktionary data and then update a file in the build and create a new build.
It takes some time and I'm not sure if Wiktionary has improved enough to be worth the effort, but I probably should do it at some point.

thanks for the reply @rdoeffinger 😊. It would be great if you could take some time to document the dictionary generation process so that we the end user can do it. I think @kenden was trying to come up with a docker file to do that on issue #112. But as of now I can't verify if that work.

I suggest unifying this under #112 where I just posted a native Linux binary (and in theory a native Windows binary and scripts should not be impossible, but I am not sure I'll do that) and closing this one.
