I’ve been using LanguageTool-6.0/languagetool-commandline.jar for some days now and really like it that way. I was wondering if and how it would be possible to update the dictionairies by (simply) replacing files, e.g. using the contents of https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/tree/master/languagetool-language-modules/en/src/main/resources/org/languagetool/resource/en to replace /LanguageTool-6.0/org/languagetool/resource/en.
Thanks for providing a stand-alone FOSS version!

The proper way to extend the English dictionary is by adding words to ./org/languagetool/resource/en/hunspell/spelling_custom.txt. If you want words not to be accepted, add them to prohibit_custom.txt in the same directory.
However, my question extends to replacing all of the above downloadable files, in their respective folders of my local LT installation. As far as I understand the guides and some forum posts (still learning), the currently available LT 6.0 CLI Java files and according language files are not up-to-date with the version hosted on Github, which potentially could break my installation.
I understood that the available ngrams are of 2020 and as is (for the time being) but, what about the contents of e.g. /LanguageTool-6.0/org/languagetool/resource/en?
Edit, for a related question: Is there an option to specify a global spelling_custom.txt, if so, where should it be located and how should it be included in the command-line?
I can confirm the 6.1 snapshot to be compatible with the 2020 ngrams using languagetool-commandline.jar. As well as using a symlink to the dedicated locations, a single spelling_custom.txt (in my case, at the root dir of LT) can be used for any other supported language . I favour the idea to maintain a single file only .
