":help spell-mkspell" says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can create a Vim spell file from the .aff and .dic files that Myspell uses. Myspell is used by OpenOffice.org and Mozilla. You should be able to find them here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The link in help file contains dictionaries for the old OpenOffice-2.x. OpenOffice-3.x has changed the format of the dictionaries OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries are available at: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary Does anybody knows whether it's possible to convert the OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries to Vim dictionaries? OpenOffice-3.x has more dictionaries than OpenOffice-2.x. For example, I'm interested in converting the Breton dictionary to Vim, but it's only available for OpenOffice-3.x and not OpenOffice-2.x.
