For example, the French bundle includes several pairs with names similar fr-moderne.aff and fr-moderne.dic. The spell checker doesn't recognize those names, and then when yous copy them to /Library/Dictionaries you must rename them to fr.aff and fr.dic or fr_FR.aff and fr_FR.dic. You tin have more than than one lexicon pair installed if you utilize several languages, simply ane must match the language you use for Granddaddy or spell checking won't be enabled at all.
