A collection of dictionaries that can be imported into Gboard.
- Pick the dictionary you want to use and download the
.tsvfile - Rename the file to
dictionary.txt - Compress it as Zip and give it the name
PersonalDictionary-1.zip - Import the dictionary into Gboard.
Please avoid importing a dictionary twice. Doing so will cause issues in Gboard and you'll have to reboot your device to get it back to a working state.
Alternatively, there are scripts to automatically build them:
pnpm run build <dictionary>This generates a PersonalDictionary-<dictionary>.zip that's ready to import into Gboard. You can also run pnpm run build:all to build all the dictionaries at once.
These dictionaries are for my personal use, and as such, have a few guidelines that you might not agree with. Use at your own discretion.
- Proper names are in their original language and stored under "All languages".
- The whole world wasn't copied to these dictionaries, only what's relevant to me.
A lot of the words in french.tsv are simply words with apostrophes, which Gboard seems to struggle with.
Gboard dictionaries are tab-separated values with one word per line.
The first line has to start with the header below. An additional comment # From OS can be found when users add an entry from outside of Gboard.
