 5.9 Dictionary Naming
 =====================
 
 In order for Aspell to be able to correctly recognize a dictionary
 based on the setting of the `LANG' environment variable the
 dictionaries need to be located somewhere Aspell can find them and they
 need to be _multi_ dictionaries.  Where Aspell looks for dictionaries
 depends on the value of the `dict-dir' and `word-list-path' option.
 
    `dict-dir' is generally `PREFIX/lib/aspell', and `word-list-path' is
 generally empty.
 
    Each dictionary that you expect Aspell to be able to find needs to
 have a name in the following format:
 
      LANGUAGE[_REGION][-VARIETY][-SIZE].multi
 
 where LANGUAGE is the two letter language code, REGION is the two
 letter region code, VARIETY is any extra information to distinguish the
 word list from other ones with the same language and spelling.
 Multiple varieties can be used by separating them with a '-'.  Finally,
 SIZE is the size of the dictionary.  If no size is specified then the
 default size of 60 will be assumed.
 
    For example:
 
      en.multi
      en_US.multi
      en-medical.multi
      en-medical-85.multi
      en-85.multi
      de.multi
