> Hi, Stephan, > I find I just need to put dictionary files under $(HOME)/.lyx/dicts/ Hi Junchao, yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in: 1) preference specified directory 2) user directory + dicts 3) lyx binary directory + dicts 4) /usr/share/myspell/dicts You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment. LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text inside your document. That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you have the language of some text set to it.
