[Feature Request] Add “Default” Hunspell Morphologies in many languages

ghost commented 2 years ago

Problem: currently, users have to find online the Hunspell morphologies of their target language and load them manually on GoldenDict. Many users just cannot do that. The process is complex for them.

Possible solution: Add by "default" a list of Morphologies in Hunspell for many languages. So, users would only need to choose the ones that they want.

User @titoBouzout maintains a huge list of Hunspell Morphologies. We would only need to "load" the .aff / .dic files into GoldenDict compiled version.

maybe we should provide an instruction under howto with name howto use hunspell dictionary. Wish someone can commit an article

How about offering all the "Hunspell" Dictionaries (.aff / .dic files) bundled with your version of GoldenDict ?

Then, we could write instructions to people to "load" those Hunspell Dictionaries that they already have.

Here is an example of a collection of Hunspell Dictionaries in UTF8 for GD: https://cloud.freemdict.com/index.php/s/3pSE4swiA5rFL3K

I could download one by one all the Hunspell files from @titoBouzout and make a .zip file. **Should I do it ?**

has no plan to bundle such files to enlarge goldendict again and without too much benifit.

I will close this issue. If someone has a solution, it could be opened again.
