A quick description of how I added the Maori Words Dictionary. Hopefully this can be easily adapted for the creation of further dictionaries.
To generate a dictionary run:
aspell --lang=en create master ./maoriwords.local < maoriwords.txt
Change Spell.cgi to add line:
$speller->set_option('extra-dicts','maoriwords.local');
Copy the newly created dictionary to the aspell directory:
cp /maoriwords.local /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/
If you find any bugs in the code, or have suggestions for other things this could do. Please feel free to contact me (j.brunskill@waikato.ac.nz).
