11 years ago As a very small step, here's the code I eventually discovered was needed to change an entry, here for the English dictionary:
(setcar (nthcdr 1 adict-dictionary-list) "british")This could be included as an example in the docstring.

11 years ago Could you take a look at this branch https://github.com/nschum/auto-dictionary-mode/tree/f/alist?
It changes the dictionary list format to be more flexible and adds defcustom support.
What do you think?

11 years ago Thanks, that's also great. I have it installed and working, with no need for a tricky line of init code.

The docstring for adict-dictionary-list says "Change them if you'd like a different region for your language". I want to use British English, so I'd like to change the entry for "en" to "british", but I can't see a neater way of doing this than to manually change item 1 of the list, which is fragile and not very user-friendly. A more robust, and preferably customize-based, interface would be nice!
