custom dictionaries on Nokia 2720

[Nick West]

I'm trying to add words to the dictionary on my Nokia 2720. I see the .dictionary directories on the internal storage and the SD card, but when I add words to the dictionary files in there, they don't seem to show up as suggestions when I am using predictive text. I have restarted my phone but still no success.

The reason I am editing these files is because when I try to add words via the phone using the "spell" option, I can't find a way to add punctuation. For example, I can't add "we're" because it always shows up as "were"

This is my first post here, so thank you to the community for the great instructions and info on this forum. I have successfully removed a lot of bloatware from my Nokia 2720 thanks to Bananahackers!

A bit later, but I am looking for a similar information. On my 8110 I do not have the "spell" option, so I would like to add words manually in the files in .dictionary folder. I found this post [1] on reddit, stating the files there are simple lists of words separated by the pipe symbol "|", but if I edit the file in that way, it recognizes only the first word.

Any one here knows the correct format of "<lang>.dic" files?

I found it: you have to list the words, each terminated by a pipe symbol "|", even the last word!
