Dictionaries🔗

Sublime Text currently only supports UTF-8 encoded dictionaries. Mostdictionaries are not encoded in UTF-8, instead using a more compact encodingfor the language in question. To use a dictionary with Sublime Text, it’llfirst need to be converted into UTF-8.

Once you have a UTF-8 encoded dictionary, it can be installed by placing it in apackage, for example,Packages/User/, which you can access fromthePreferences Browse Packages menu item. Once the file is in place,you can select the dictionary from theView Dictionary menu.
