I quit programming when operating systems went to windows-like interfaces and my programming tools went out of date. Most any language that deals easily with text files might work, provided the dictionaries are accessible as such. Then you might have to deal with copyright issues, DRM and other legalities. But different dictionaries have different definitions for the same words, so how would you decide (a human decision, not a programming decision) when to keep both or not? You would have to build in a lot of arbitrary decision trees to determine when to keep words from both sources.
I guess the next question would be, what two dictionaries would you try to merge? Perhaps one more comprehensive dictionary would be better?
