Hi, I've finally figured out how to add an additional dictionary to Sigil. Here's what I've done:

I've downloaded the necessary files from http://hunspell.memoq.com/

Because I wanted to add a Dutch spell checker, in my case the files were:

hyph_nl_NL.zip and nl_NL.zip

Unzipping these files created hyph_nl_NL.dic, nl_NL.dic and nl_NL.aff.

I copied these three files to the Hunspell dictionaries folder, which in my case was located in C:\Program Files\Sigil\hunspell_dictionaries.

After restarting Sigil I could make nl_NL the active spell checker.

I hope this post can help other people who are struggling.
