dictionary - Where to find dictionaries for other languages for IntelliJ?

Question

IntelliJ spellchecker comes with only English and Arabic bundled (strange, I think it is made in east Europe, they didn't even bundle their language?).

My customer is German so all my code is mixed English (code)/German (interface) and I can't find a German dictionary for IntelliJ.

Current IDEA versions load dictionaries in UTF-8, you don't need to convert them to the platform encoding, ignore the iconv step below.

The dictionary can be produced using aspell for Unix/Mac OS X or under Cygwin. You need to have aspell and appropriate dictionary installed.

Here is the example for Russian dictionary I've used:

aspell --lang ru-yeyo dump master | aspell --lang ru expand | tr ' ' '
' > russian.dic

For German it would be:

aspell --lang de_DE dump master | aspell --lang de_DE expand | tr ' ' '
' > de.dic
