Ih have patches for ifrench / ifrench-gut ready to build the
dictionaries from the ispell ones directly which was how the zip was
created anyhow. This was possible only now that we have alibmyspell-dev
in unstable which incidentially contains a script which was made for
converting ifrench-gut :-)
Just for info, some time ago I was playing to write an aff converter and
put it at
http://corbu.aq.upm.es/~agmartin/linux/store/ispell2myspell
It is a bit naive and somewhat unfinished perl script, but seems to work
and do what is expected from it, including hardcoded support for latin1,
latin2 and latin3 lc/uc conversion (it can also rely on locales for
this, but this might result in problems if the right locale is not
installed), as well as optional flag split into chunks for flags having
too many entries. It currently allows only alphabetic flags and also
requires an external header file with the myspell header, something like
SET ISO8859-1
# TRY
TRY aersoinltcdmubpágízfvhéjqóñxyúükCMAIESPGJBRFTDVHUOwLKNZÁYXÜÓÚÉÑQWÍ
It only deals with aff conversion, for the dict I hope something like
( echo `cat galician.words | wc -l`; cat galician.words ) > galician.dict
to do the right thing, with .words being the munched wordlist
I wrote it some time ago and was waiting to take a look at other similar
scripts flying around to try improving it, and eventually put it or
other similar script at dictionariers-common-dev package, but never had
the time for that. At some time I would like to add the possibility of
some non alphabetic flags to work with norwegian dicts, but cannot promise.
Feel free to play with it
