Hi Olivier, Thanks for the bug report. It has been a while since that patch was landed so my memory may be a bit rusty, but I don't believe we considered the use case of Linux distributions side-loading dictionaries in this way...
Would it be a useful work-around to convert these dictionaries to the [WebExtension dictionary format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/dictionaries)? I haven't tested this myself, but at least in Firefox it is [possible to side-load extensions](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish /distribute-sideloading/#standard-extension-folders), so perhaps installing such extensions to a location like `/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{uuid}` may be a useful workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847247 Title: External dictionaries are not loaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1847247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
