merge two dictionaries into one
Often I correct ebooks which use two or more languages, and running the spellcheck is a bit of a nightmare, because of course I can only select one of the dictionaries at a time, so all the words in the other language are marked as errors. Is there a way to create a new language that is the sum of the two? I tried "Hunspell merge", but it doesn't work.

Thanks

The calibre editor can check multilingual text just fine. Simply add the correct lang="whatever" and the editor will use the appropriate dictionary automatically, assuming it is available.

Thank you for your answer. Can you be more specific, please? Where should I change the language? I tried in the "content.opf" file, but it just resorts to English. Or can I add more languages? What's the code?

The problem is the text uses both languages within the same paragraph. It's a file that's already been written, I can't add <span>s around all the words that are in French. I need the spellcheck tool to recognize both the words in Italian and the ones in French.

Then you are out of luck. The Editor can spell check a given language using only a single dictionary and a custom word list. As for merging dictionaries, there may be a way, but not in calibre, it has no dictionary manipulation tools.

The problem is that you want to be able to distinguish a word in French from a word in Italian. Unless you have the words marked, perhaps by the ebook language being set to French and content in Italian being marked as being in Italian, your computer has no way of knowing which dictionary to use unless you want all words checked against both dictionaries which would give rather interesting results.

Yes, I need words checked against both dictionaries, and marked as error only if they don't belong to either. Or, and that is the same logic, I want to check the words against a custom dictionary that is the sum of the Italian and the French one.

You know, those long, highly specific manuals with thousands of foreign words, book titles, and so on.

The calibre editor uses Hunpell dictionaries, so maybe this can help:

Use multiple languages at once for the dictionary? - Super User

A search for "combine two hunspell dictionaries" may find other solutions.

I tried Hunspell Merge (which is precisely what I'm looking for), but for some reason it gets stuck when analyzing the Italian dictionary (and this happens only with the Italian dictionary, I've tried merging others and it works. I have zero idea how those .dic files work, so I can't tell what the problem is).

I get this message on the command prompt when running Hunspell merge

Try to find another Italian hunspell dictionary, Apache might have some, otherwise you will have to log an 'Issue' (on the left) at Google code.

BTW, KevinH considers allowing users to select a secondary Hunspell dictionary in a future Sigil version. However, so far there hasn't been much interest in it. If you're also a Sigil user and you'd like KevinH to add this feature, please reply to the thread.
