I’m running LanguageTool on Mac OS X, installed using homebrew, and shared with others on my network. Most ‘clients’ are using Obsidian and the LanguageTool plugin, which works well. I’m trying to locate the personal dictionary - either to add things that should be there (specialised vocabulary and/or acronyms) and remove some things that have crept in that should not be there.
Can anyone give me pointers as to where to find it?
With thansks.
Not sure about Homebrew, but with plain LT, you can add words to ./org/languagetool/resource/en/hunspell/spelling_custom.txt (for English). The server needs to be restarted after changes to that file.
Many thanks … that location exists (under homebrew’s repetitive /opt/homebrew/opt/languagetool/libexec/) but is unchanged since installation, so doesn’t appear to be the location that ‘add to personal dictionary’ sends words. Time to see how poor my find and grep skills are unfortunately 
Sorry, I misunderstood your question then. The “add to dictionary” doesn’t send data to the server if you use a self-hosted server. spelling_custom.txt should work anyway.
OK, pity, many thanks. Interestingly, using a self-hosted server and the Chrome browser plugin (actually Vivaldi in my case) that’s synced, the personal library is visible via the extension settings page, and does sync between browsers. It would therefore probably be possible to extract it from the browser extension and add the words to spelling_custom.txt. However, 90% of my writing is in Obsidian, so that won’t help me much
