I am working an open source dictionary project for a language that isn’t yet listed on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/
Specifically it is the Ladino (Judeo-Espanyol) language using the Latin abc, though the specific language probably does not matter.
I would like to be able to create the necessary files to make it easy for others to install and use this add-on. (and get it listed on that page)
I would also like to be able to try it in my browser (running on Linux btw) before I submit it to Mozilla.
If I understand it correctly first I need to create the .dic and .aff files used by hunspell. I’ve done this. I can use the spell-checker on the command line.
Is that correct?
What now?
How do I package these files so I can install them locally?
How do I submit it to Mozilla?
And a bit later: how will I be able to update the version served by Mozilla?
You probably missed this one. IMO it should get you started. Since a dictionary only needs the manifest file and the .aff and .dic file it should be relative straight forward to create the add-on
I did visit your github repo and I’m interested in the build stack you use to create the .dic and .aff files. … I’ve never created a hunspell based dictionary, but I know how to create ff add-ons
