In Gnome, how do I backup my spell-check dictionary?

Question

I frequently add non-standard words to the dictionary, and would not like to lose it. Is there any way to save it somewhere, so that I would never have to start over ?

Answer 1

I have found these dictionaries in my system with locate:

/home/user/.config/enchant/en_GB.dic
/home/user/.config/enchant/en_US.dic
/home/user/.config/enchant/hu_HU.dic

Generally $HOME/.config contains all types of configuration for your programs.

update: I found the corresponding specification I was looking for: XDG Base Directory Specification.
