Hunspell format and multiple dictionary files

[joshinils]

What should go in there?
i have no clue what to put in there, i tried
"german",
"/usr/share/hunspell/de_DE_frami.dic",
"/usr/share/hunspell/de_DE_frami",
"de_DE_frami",
"de-DE",
"de"

Also, what kind of file does this expect? where should that go, or where does it look?

Thanks for the question. It also took me a while to recall how those settings work.

You have two places to store your "user dictionary",

• either C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\wordlist (you can open it with command open user dictionary)
• or inside the settings.json (i.e. userDictionary, a list of words for completion).
  (If you have disabled the useExternalUserDictFile option.)

[joshinils]

on linux that's /home/<username>/.config/Code/User/wordlist

setting a symbolic link to /usr/share/hunspell/de_DE_frami.dic does indeed give me a whole lot of words, but it doesn't recognize the format of the dictionary files (i guess I've only linked to one of them), it also doesnt recognize any umlauts (üöä) in the given file, but i guess that is to be expected.
creating a custom file with words that contain umlauts it handles it fine.

I'd be quite happy to see support for this hunspell format. And I'd also like to see support for multiple dictionaries to be active at the same time (like english and german for example)
otherwise I can't use the dictionary files i already have, I'd have to "compile"/find new ones just for this.

i.e. install hunspell-toolsl, and unmunch my dictionary file, though with this utf (utf8, somehow it doesnt recognize utf for me) encoding, otherwise all umlauts and ß are gone.

Thanks. So I think there are two features

• Support the hunspell format while still be compatible with our current file. (It looks quite simple.)
  • Discard the first line if it is a number
  • Discard anything after /

  • vscode-dic-completion/src/completion.ts

    Line 65 in ff95ce6

    function loadOtherWordsAndRebuildIndex(builtInWords: string[]) {

• Support multiple dictionary files
  • Would you think having both German and English words in the suggestion is a bit messy sometimes?
  • We can also go further thinking about multiple language support (Multi language support possible ? #1). Then we better to offer an option to choose which language(s) to enable (e.g. using an array like ["en", ...]).

regarding the messiness; nah, i like to add english comments into german latex files. i kinda always use english for comments, even if anyone ever reading the thing i type knows german.

[yzhang-gh]

Then it will be easier to implement. Thanks for the information.

Coming soon

[yzhang-gh]

v0.9.0 released.

Hello @yzhang-gh !

Regarding:

vscode-dic-completion/src/completion.ts

Lines 78 to 82 in f31d8da

	//// Hunspell format compatibility
	if (/\d+/.test(list[0])) {
	list.splice(0, 1);
	}
	list = list.map(word => word.replace(/\/.*$/, ''));

There is a problem with European Portuguese before the 1990 Orthographic Agreement dictionaries that use [...] instead of /...:

Thanks for the information. Would you be willing to open a PR? 😉

[gusbemacbe]

OK, I will try to test and check if it works.

[gusbemacbe]

Done!
