mrmikel - The zip I posted can only be used with Sigil by copying the contents to the Sigil\hunspell_dictionaries folder and then selecting en_gb_us.
I had hoped my previous post made it clear that it can't be used with Calibre
. I've added a paragraph to make it clear.
They can't be used by calibre as it requires an OXT file. Whilst an OXT is a rebadged ZIP, it contains files in addition to the .dic(tionary) and .aff(ix) files as in
Code:
META-INF
manifest.xml
*en_US.aff
th_en_US_v2.dat
*en_US.dic
*hyph_en_US.dic
th_en_US_v2.idx
license.txt
affDescription.txt
changelog.txt
dictionaries.xcu
description.xml
So far we've demonstrated that a combined dictionary is feasible, but we don't have a specific solution for calibre. I don't know enough about OXT files in part because I don't use Open Office. Perhaps someone who uses OO, could investigate if/how one could merge the other files, also I don't know which of the other files calibre actually uses.
I find it odd that this issue (combining dictionaries) has arisen in the context of the calibre book editor, with a quick search I couldn't find anything similar in the Sigil forum
