WPS Office dictionaries collection

I have just submitted wps-office-dicts to SBo. The script packages spell check dictionaries for WPS Office. The language files themselves are the LibreOffice Dictionaries project, but adapted for WPS Office, following the instructions of this old post of mine. However, it got me thinking that not only Slackware users may want to have these easy to install, therefore I made a wps-office-dicts repo at my GitHub.

Below are the included languages. I cannot test all these, so if there are issues with a language you speak, let me know.

Now, back to the SlackBuild… It packages all languages (90 as of today), but I left the option to select just individual ones, because probably not everyone would need all these. To install Bulgarian and British English, I would run it like:

LANGS="bg_BG en_GB" ./wps-office-dicts.SlackBuild
