The man page mentions the "Personal dictionary file" ... https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man4/hunspell.4.html

Personal dictionaries are simple word lists. Asterisk at the first character position signs prohibition. A second word separated by a slash sets the affixation.

If I can include those words in the main Dictionary file, why would anyone use personal file? Is any language using this?

  • The default dictionary file will be overwritten when the application (to which the file belongs) updates. Having a personal file ensures that your changes (data) isn't lost during such upgrades – Debargha Roy Sep 07 '22 at 08:43
  • And how do I install personal files? – shantanuo Dec 26 '22 at 04:32
  • You don't install personal files. There're a couple of handy ways of moving around those files. (1) Move/copy those files individually after installing the software. (2) Have the personal files in common fileshare and have a shell script copy it during the software install. – Debargha Roy Dec 27 '22 at 15:10
