Installation
You should get a file with the extension "hash" (this may be inside a folder - if so, please ignore any other files in the folder). For example, the Catalan dictionary is downloaded as "abispell-ca-ES.ppc.zip" and the archive contains the file "catala.hash".
If you are an administrator:
To install a dictionary so that all users can use it, place it in this folder:

If you are not an administrator:
To install a dictionary so that all only you can use it, place it in this folder:
