Inconsistencies sometimes bug me, and this is one of them. I think having language name and region/dialect would be best. It’s not a big issue, but as I was poking around, I noticed the inconsistency.
I went looking for dictionaries, myself, and discovered several sources (some of which I’m sure you’ve seen, but others perhaps not):
freeoffice.com/en/support/a … ctionaries
What you download is a .sox file. Rename the file to a .zip file (example: if it’s en_us.sox, rename to to en_us.zip (or en_us.sox.zip; it won’t matter)), and unzip it. Twenty flavors of Spanish, plus more languages.
cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffic … ries/tree/
Scroll down to the folder links; they’re labeled with their language code. For example, af_ZA links to the Afrikaans dictionary directory.
src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/ … tionaries/
github.com/elastic/hunspell/tree/master/dicts
4 years old. I checked the en_US.doc, and it has 62k entries, which is more than the normal one Scrivener loads. These are made for the elastic search project, so may not be suitable.
github.com/wooorm/dictionaries/ … ctionaries
UTF-8. Updated April 29, 2018.
github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries
Updates vary. Some dictionaries have not been updated in a while, and others have been updated within the last few months.
extensions.services.openoffice.o … ctionaries
Once you find the language (if you do), find the “Download Extension” button and click it. It will have an .oxt extension. Rename the file with a .zip extension. In other words, if it was Deutsch.oxt, rename it to Deutsch.zip. Unzip it. The .dic, .aff, and README files are in that folder.
github.com/titoBouzout/Dictionaries
Some recently updated, some not. Includes latin.
oxygenxml.com/spell_checking.html
A few.
sourceforge.net/projects/transl … /OldFiles/
Warning: old files.
app.aspell.net/create
Lets you create a dictionary for yourself. You get to decide what level of words you wish to include. It’s English only. FYI, I run the INSANE level (350k words).
sourceforge.net/projects/wordli … 018.04.16/
English only. Both normal and large dictionaries.
