Description Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2025-01-06 08:39:43 UTC 
Languagetool has the most up to date German dictionaries. Our own German dictionary is outdated and the source is unmaintained since many years.

We should update our internal German dictionaries [1] to those from languagetool [2].

The following needs to be done:

1. Compare our dictionaries with those from languagetool
2. Propose all words we have which are missing in languagetool to their repository
3. Copy the languagetool dictionaries to our repo

Note: the '_frami' extension can be removed in our file names ('de_DE.dic' instead of 'de_DE_frami.dic').
