directories important to enchant
Unless configured otherwise, Enchant’s Myspell, Ispell, and
Uspell backends will look for dictionaries in directories
specific to Enchant, and will not use your system-wide installed
dictionaries. This is for pragmatic reasons since many
distributions install these dictionaries into different
locations.
Like the enchant.ordering file described above, Enchant
looks in the global directory for these dictionaries and a
per-user directory. The per-user directory takes precedence if it
is found. Enchant looks for Myspell dictionaries in
$(datadir)/enchant/myspell and ~/.enchant/myspell.
Enchant looks for Ispell dictionaries in
$(datadir)/enchant/ispell and ~/.enchant/ispell.
Enchant looks for Uspell dictionaries in
$(datadir)/enchant/uspell and ~/.enchant/uspell.
Packagers and users may wish to make symbolic links to the
system-wide dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the
--with-myspell-dir, --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir
’configure’ arguments.
enchant ordering file
Enchant has a global and a per-user ordering file named
enchant.ordering. It lets the user specify which spelling
backend to use for individual languages in the case when you care
which backend gets used. The global file is located in
$(datadir)/enchant and the per-user file is located in
~/.enchant. The per-user file takes precedence, if found.
The ordering file takes the form language_tag:<comma-separated
list of spelling backends>. I am currently aware of the
following backends: aspell, myspell, ispell, uspell, hspell,
voikko, and zemberek. ’*’ is used to mean "use this ordering for
all languages, unless instructed otherwise." For example:
*:aspell,myspell,ispell
en:aspell,myspell,ispell
en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell
fr:myspell,ispell:aspell
