Fix broken French and Swedish spell-check dictionary URLs (#12267)#12275
Merged
Conversation
LibreOffice moved the .aff/.dic files for fr_FR and sv_SE into a dictionaries/ subfolder, so the download URLs in HunspellDictionaries.json returned 404 and the download silently failed. This affected French, Swedish and Swedish (Finland). Point the 6 affected URLs at the new dictionaries/ subfolder. Verified all 164 dictionary file URLs in the list now resolve (200/206).

Problem
Fixes #12267. The French spell-check dictionary (and both Swedish variants) could not be downloaded — the download silently failed with "Download failed". The OCR dictionary for French worked because it uses a different source.
Cause
The download list (
src/ui/Assets/HunspellDictionaries.json) points at the LibreOffice dictionaries repo. LibreOffice reorganized thefr_FRandsv_SEfolders, moving the.aff/.dicfiles into adictionaries/subfolder. The old URLs now return 404.Verification
I checked all 89 dictionaries / 164 file URLs in the list via parallel HTTP requests (following redirects). Exactly 3 dictionaries were broken, all for the same reason:
fr_FR/fr.{aff,dic}fr_FR/dictionaries/fr.{aff,dic}sv_SE/sv_SE.{aff,dic}sv_SE/dictionaries/sv_SE.{aff,dic}sv_SE/sv_FI.{aff,dic}sv_SE/dictionaries/sv_FI.{aff,dic}The other 86 dictionaries (161 URLs) all resolve fine — only
fr_FRandsv_SEwere reorganized upstream.Fix
Updated the 6 affected URLs to the new
dictionaries/subfolder. After the change, all 164 URLs resolve (200/206) and the JSON remains valid.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
