 I'm hoping to be able to add Icelandic spelling check to Chrome  Before I
 invest a lot of time I have some quick questions/observations:
 I found an myspell/aspell dictionary for Open Office
 here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#Icelandic_.28Iceland.29 and converted
 it to bdic format using the instructions
 here: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/editing-the-spell-checking-dictionaries.
  When I replace a supported bdic with this one I can spell check mostly but
 seen errors such as:
 Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'candidate' was
 corrupted. (suggestmgr.cxx:680).
 Any pointers on where to start?  I don't know if the dictionary/conversion
 are at fault or hunspell.

Yikes! I have no good input. Most of these bugs have been caused by
the code reading the custom format or in its interaction with the rest
of Hunspell.

 Distribution: If I get this to more or less work - how would it possible to
 distribute it?  I want of course the Language Selection UI to have Icelandic
 and support automatic download of the dictionary.

Sounds like a question best brought up with a lawyer, just to be sure.

 Improvement: If I find issues with either hunspell or the dictionary itself
 should I work on it in the context of hunspell (which seems to be dormant
 from their dev mailing list) or what?

It's always polite to send stuff upstream first, but don't let that
stop you from making fixes locally if the project has stopped.
I'd expect the dictionary owners at least would welcome your changes.
