Inquiry regarding the implementation of custom dictionaries (e.g., es_CO) in OnlyOffice Document Server (Docker)

Hello ,

I am currently running an OnlyOffice Document Server instance via Docker, and I would like to expand the spellchecking capabilities by adding custom dictionaries.

Specifically, I am interested in creating and implementing a dictionary for Colombian Spanish (es_CO) with a custom list of words and regional terms.

Could you please provide guidance or documentation on the following points?

  1. Creation Process: What is the recommended workflow for creating a new dictionary from scratch or based on existing Hunspell files (.dic and .aff)?
  2. Deployment: Where should these files be placed within the Docker container structure so they are recognized by the Document Server?
  3. Registration: Are there any configuration files (such as languages.json) that need to be manually updated to register the new locale and make it available in the editor’s language selection menu?
  4. Persistence: What is the best practice for making these custom dictionaries persistent across container updates or restarts?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and for such a great tool.
