Can I edit the dictionaries?

[London]

Hi!

Is it possible to edit the dictionaries? I think the Danish one has some oddities I would like to delete. I can't find any obvious file...

[cyril]

You can't, but you are welcome to contribute to a better danish dictionary

[London]

I would like that! How do I get started?

[cyril]

All what is needed is a word list sorted by decreasing frequency of usage. The current list has only 27k words, which is quite small.

[London]

Can I get a copy of that list? Then I will begin by correcting wrongs.

And is there some "normal" way people make these -- i.e. get the words and frequencies?

[fvs114]

Maybe you should try this,this, this or this to get corpus or list of words.

[London]

Those are definitely in another league, containing 22000k words... I'll have a look once I've gotten started.

I would like to add to the current list first, but also remove from it -- it currently contains a lot of annoying entries as many words are suggested both capitalized and not.

Can you supply the current one, Cyril?

[cyril]

Here is the current list. However I'm not sure how you can merge it with another one, as the resulting list still has to be sorted by frequency...

[London]

Hey Cyril,

I have now obtained some word lists (thanks fvs114, in the end I contacted someone from one of the places, was redirected, and now I have a good, sorted list!)

How large can the dictionary be?

[fvs114]

Slovenian dictionary contains 259k words.. Cyril would cut it from bottom (low frequent words) but it wasn't necessary.
