Hello, I Just wanted to say this is great news that an official English dictionaries update will be maintained on the Extensions website.
I had a user ask me recently on the community forums how they could get an English dictionary because they lived in France and had that version of the installer. I ended up just privately sending them the extension that is unpacked in the install directory, and only realised then that this was a bit of loophole.
