Enchant uses global and per-user ordering files named enchant.ordering to decide which spelling provider to use for particular languages. The per-user file takes precedence.

The ordering file takes the form language_tag:<comma-separated list of spelling providers>. To see what providers are available, run enchant-lsmod-@ENCHANT_MAJOR_VERSION@. '*' is used to mean "use this ordering for all languages, unless instructed otherwise." For example:

*:aspell,hunspell,nuspell

en:aspell,hunspell,nuspell

en_GB:hunspell,nuspell,aspell

fr:hunspell,nuspell,aspell

Enchant looks in the following places for files, in decreasing order of precedence:

ENCHANT_CONFIG_DIR (If the environment variable is set.)

XDG_CONFIG_HOME/enchant (non-Windows systems) Default: ~/.config/enchant

CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\\enchant (Windows systems) Default: C:\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\enchant

@datadir@/enchant (Or the equivalent location relative to the enchant library for a relocatable build.)

Dictionaries are looked for in a subdirectory with the same name as the provider; for example, @datadir@/enchant/hunspell and ~/.config/enchant/hunspell.

Some providers may also look in a standard system directory for their dictionaries; the hunspell provider can be configured to do so at build time.
