That's what we've provided Arch and Debian mechanisms to do.
Thanks so much for your reply, indeed, I'm not that familiar with Linux, so I used the repository to install it.

The location you indicated (in your home directory) is where additional user supplied dictionaries would go. If my above solution doesn't work, that is where you'll probably need to put the dictionaries someone else will need to tell you how to manually find/download.
Great, thanks for this tip, I'll give it a try.
