What you need is a myspell dictionary. This is the same dictionary format
used by OpenOffice. I don't know whether we have any good documentation on
the format, though the web probably does.

Once you have the .aff and .dic files, let the Turkish l10n team know and
they can create the extension using my dictionary-packager tool. Setting
followup to mozilla.dev.l10n... there may already be a Turkish dictionary in
the works, so let's ask there.

Hi,

myspell for Turkish is VERY difficult, though possible. I have once
thought of developing one (just a proof-of-concept), but dropped the
plan. Hunspell is probably easier, because it has been developed with
agglutinative languages in mind. Will Hunspell work with Firefox?

Benjamin,

OO.o uses Hunspell since OO.o 2.0.2. Are these dictionaries compatible
to the Mozilla solution?

Mozilla is not compatible with Hunspell.
