I am also very confused by the information that "Pspell dictionaries can be found at..." and "currently, AbiWord ships Ispell dictionaries " both within the same paragraph. Does the program use the pspell or ispell?
But, thanks to people on this mailing list I finally found that these are apparently the correct locations to find dictionary files:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/abiword
choose Abispell and (Download) this creates a list....
or
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/
Windows users should use the .exe installer versions.
1.3 How do I get the spell checker to work in my language?
Your AbiWord distribution contains a file called american.hash. This is a dictionary of English words. By replacing this dictionary with one from your language of choice, spell check will then mark only those words misspelled for the language you choose. There is an abispell package that contains 22 ready to use hash files. It is available on SourceForge. Otherwise, a comprehensive list of available dictionaries is at http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell-dictionaries.html. Once the dictionaries are downloaded, you can follow the directions at http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell-winnt.html to build the hash file.
and
Of course, you can only spell-check words if you have the dictionary for that particular language installed. Pspell dictionaries can be found at pspell.sourceforge.net. Currently, AbiWord ships Ispell dictionaries (commonly referred to as `hash files�) that are known to work with the AbiWord product.
