spell check files

[Steve]

Dear vimers,

I'm currently doing some cleaning in my ~/.vim.

Just noticed that my spell file are really old (2013):

83 déc 6 2013 en.utf-8.add
192 déc 6 2013 en.utf-8.add.spl
570549 fév 15 2013 en.utf-8.spl
556477 fév 15 2013 en.utf-8.sug
2761 nov 24 10:37 fr.utf-8.add
4481 nov 24 10:37 fr.utf-8.add.spl
571627 fév 15 2013 fr.utf-8.spl
2324315 fév 15 2013 fr.utf-8.sug


Was wandering if updated french spell file existed. Haven't found
anything like it on the Net. Is there a way within vim to update those?
Would be really practical.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Best,
Steve

Failing to find any info at ":h new-spell" or ":h spell", I'd be tempted
to hide the French spell files in an effort to trigger Vim's response on
invoking a previously unused spell language. E.g. when I first tried
Danish Vim responded:

»
Cannot find spell file for "da" in utf-8
Do you want me to try downloading it?
# Answered y <CR>
Downloading da.utf-8.spl...
:!curl 'http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/da.utf-8.spl' -o '/tmp/v5STjcI/0.spl'
«

A quick glance at http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/
shows there's a new French spl from February this year.

You should be able to find them on the ftp server:
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/

I'm not sure if the French ones were actually updated from recent
(OpenOffice) spell files.

It was, but the difference is really tiny.

Thank you,

Best,
Steve

The French dictionary has switched from myspell to
hunspell a long time ago. The French hunspell
dictionary is very well maintained, and has greatly
improved over the last few years, thanks to the
following web site:

https://grammalecte.net/home.php?prj=fr

The up-to-date Hunspell dictionary is used by LibreOffice,
Firefox, etc. However, Vim does not support enough
hunspell features to upgrade its builtin Vim French
dictionary.

The above page still has the obsolete myspell download
link, but it has not been updated since 2008, unlike the
hunspell dictionary which is updated very few months.

What features are we missing?

Hunspell has gone a bit crazy in adding more features...
