WinEdt's Dictionaries (word lists) are available on CTAN:

     ftp://dtp.dante.de     (Germany)  /tex-archive
     ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk    (England)  /tex-archive
     ftp://tug2.cs.umb.edu  (USA)      /tex-archive

                    tex-archive/systems/win32/winedt/dict

Dictionaries in this directory have been included in WinEdt's
distribution with the permission of their authors. Please read the
".txt" files for any copyright or copyleft notices and other
relevant information for a particular dictionary...

WinEdt's default dictionary is "WinEdt.dic". This is a very basic
English Dictionary compiled by me over the last few years mostly
for entertainment purposes (solving word puzzles in the
newspaper). You will likely find this dictionary inadequate for
serious work. In that case you can download any of the
dictionaries in this directory and load it with WinEdt Dictionary
Manager. Note that you can Edit, Merge and Sort Dictionaries
through WinEdt/ Options/ Dictionary Dialog.

WinEdt can use up to 255 different dictionaries simultaneously.
You can specify to which dictionary new words are to be inserted
and more. This makes network installations easier. Read the online
help in Dictionary Manager Dialog for more guidelines...

WinEdt has a sub-directory called "Dict". The only files that
should be in this directory are

 * "0Readme.txt", the file you are reading,
 * "User.dic", the users personal dictionary, and
 * "WinEdt.dic", a small English dictionary.

If you want to add a new dictionary to WinEdt, create a
sub-directory in "dict" with a name of the dictionary itself.
E.g., if you want to add the Russian dictionary "ru.dic" (which is
inside "ru.zip"), then you would place it in the directory
".\dict\ru". Some dictionaries (for example DE.zip) might do this
for you automatically when un-packing.

The directory structure is as follows: ($WINEDT-DIR$ is the
directory where WinEdt is installed)

$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/main/$LANGUAGE$.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/main/addon.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/main/remove.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/abbreviations.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/astronomy.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/biology.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/chemistry.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/computer+electronics.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/economics.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/forenames.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/geography.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/geology.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/informatics.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/law.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/main.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/marks.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/mathematics.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/medicine.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/names.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/organizations.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/physics.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/$LANGUAGE$/additional/unsorted.dic [maybe some
more ...]

$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/international/geography.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/international/latin.dic
$WINEDT-DIR$/dict/international/marks.dic

You may not have any additional dictionaries for your language, in
which case you simply put the main dictionary under the directory
which you created for your language.

_______________________________________________________________________


At the moment, WinEdt has registered users in over 40 countries.
It is impossible for me to collect and maintain dictionaries for
all these languages. However, should you (the user) compile a
dictionary that might be of interest to other WinEdt users and you
are willing to share it with others, please let me know. I welcome
contributions that can be added to this directory (with the
appropriate credit and copyright notice).
