Qt WebEngine is indeed built from a modified version of the Chromium source code and Chromium does appear to use the same .bdic file format. Chromium has an internal menu that allows for the downloading of additional dictionaries, which investigation shows are stored under ~/.config/chromium/Dictionaries. It is unclear to me if Chromium also looks in some system-wide directory for these dictionaries, but if it doesn’t it may be possible to fix that with a patch.
This being the case, I think it would be better to use a file location more like /usr/share/chromium-dict, and, if packaged separately, a package name like chromium-dict-en-us. Also, if these dictionaries can be used by Chromium that may be an argument to just include them in the current Hunspell binary packages as a greater percentage of existing Hunspell users would find them of value. I am CCing the Chromium developers to include them in the conversation. -- Soren Stoutner so...@stoutner.com
