This is a good idea however it is not nearly as flexible as the established and
proven BiBTeX approach, ie: the storage of dictionaries in external dictionary
files that can be linked to documents on a many-to-many basis. This
approach facilitates control for the user ("my physics dictionary", "my
history dictionary", "my computer science dictionary") without making
unnecessary assumptions about the similarity of ALL documents that a
user edits or the number of such domains in which a user actively writes.

This is my suggestion and the only way I can see LyX providing a
competent and future-proof solution for spell checking.
Did your research reveal which interface(s) did or did not support
this approach?
This seems a legitimate need that should be pushed upstream if unavailable
in hunspell and enchant. Enchant seems the sort of project where
implementing a costly emulation layer against backends missing this
support may occur "for free", at least in terms of the LyX project's developer
time, if a request is acknowledged. The motivation for enchant's developers
is that this would further assist the enchant project to differentiate enchant's
API/ABI from hunspell's API/ABI in the eyes of application developers,
since hunspell seems to be rapidly subsuming prior systems and value of
the enchant layer is therefore decreasing for some development scenarios.
In addition, enchant probably already has code to read/write external
dictionary files of the sort suggested ("my dictionary"...) and
could expose an API/ABI for doing so that LyX could easily utilise. Any
functionality identified as missing may be enthusiastically implemented
by the enchant developers.
Hell, they might even extend their scope slightly to throw in some
critical functions for language detection! (Indeed, on the fact of it it would
seem that there is little point in adding any such code to LyX vs. enchant,
a cross-platform library that already provides concurrent access to
multiple spellchecking engine's dictionaries. Do one thing and do it well,
the KISS principle?)
Sorry I do not have time to go back and snip all of this, I have been typing
and researching the above since before the dawn (sunrise over Los
Angeles is surprisingly beautiful!) and am now running late for work!

Great, as long as the personal dictionary "in" the document is saved "outside"
the document and as a file that can be:
a) shared between multiple documents
b) used with zero or more additional personal dictionaries within a single file
c) identified as the target dictionary (vs. other active personal
dictionaries) when spell-checking the document and adding words to
personal dictionaries
- Walter
unctionality is not present for dictionary databases.
It should be. This means both adding a 'manage multiple dictionaries in
this project' feature-set, and adding a 'which dictionary do you want to
add the word to' drop-down in the right hand spellchecker sidebar.
A big thank you to the hard working developers, please do not interpret the
