pyenchant for other languages

Question

I know this was a topic before but unfortunately, nothing is working when it comes to the old solutions. So I need to figure out how to use pyenchant for german. If I use enchant.list_languages() it just shows me all kinds of English languages.

Edit: I'm using windows

Answer 1

Here the answer using python 3.10 and windows 11. Download both .aff and .dic files from: https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries

Then copy the files to the folder C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\enchant\data\mingw64\share\enchant\hunspell

If you're using other Linux, Mac, or your Windows configuration is different, type pip show pyenchant in terminal to see where pyenchant is installed, then navigate to subfolder enchant\data\mingw64\share\enchant\hunspell to find the dictionaries folder.
