Dictionary

Formats

stardict

http://goldendict.org/dictionaries.php

For dictionaries see: http://www.stardict.org/download.php

bgl

Babylon.

Windows oriented: exes on site!

Can open .exe with 7zip to extract data content.

Now most exes are downloaders without blgs, probably vendor lock-in.

I found some that actually contained the blg here:

Spell checking

Aspell

Features

Can add words to dictionary.

Understands some predefined formats!

Interactively checks files for spelling errors:

aspell -c f

If modified, change inline but create .bak file.

French:

aspell -l fr -c f

Must first install the word lists.

Same but ignore language constructs (modes):

aspell --mode=tex -c f
aspell --mode=html -c f

Modes can be added/removed. They are called filters:

sudo aspell --add-filter=$f
sudo aspell --remove-filter=$f

Hunspell

Derived from MySpell and mostly backwards compatible.

MySpell

Superseded by Hunspell.
