aspell: Dictionary Naming

1 5.9 Dictionary Naming
1 =====================
1 
1 In order for Aspell to be able to correctly recognize a dictionary
1 based on the setting of the `LANG' environment variable the
1 dictionaries need to be located somewhere Aspell can find them and they
1 need to be _multi_ dictionaries.  Where Aspell looks for dictionaries
1 depends on the value of the `dict-dir' and `word-list-path' option.
1 
1    `dict-dir' is generally `PREFIX/lib/aspell', and `word-list-path' is
1 generally empty.
1 
1    Each dictionary that you expect Aspell to be able to find needs to
1 have a name in the following format:
1 
1      LANGUAGE[_REGION][-VARIETY][-SIZE].multi
1 
1 where LANGUAGE is the two letter language code, REGION is the two
1 letter region code, VARIETY is any extra information to distinguish the
1 word list from other ones with the same language and spelling.
1 Multiple varieties can be used by separating them with a '-'.  Finally,
1 SIZE is the size of the dictionary.  If no size is specified then the
1 default size of 60 will be assumed.

1    For example:
1 
1      en.multi
1      en_US.multi
1      en-medical.multi
1      en-medical-85.multi
1      en-85.multi
1      de.multi
