Nixpkgs gets its dictionaries from <http://wordlist.sf.net>, <http://www.dicollecte.org>, and others sources: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/hunspell/dictionaries.nix We should just follow their lead. > On a related note: do we not need the language packs of Icecat? > So far I have almost every system in english, but I was wondering > this since I know mozilla and fork projects around them work > with language packs for the software builds. Good question, I don’t know. Thanks, Ludo’.
