Many thanks to all who replied.
Yeah, I guess there's no sure way to do this (and spellcheckers run with
individual users' permissions so the write access problem's kind of a show stopper).
I guess one way to deal with it is to distribute dictionary packs as installers that just add
an entry to the spellcheckers Info.plist.
It just seems like the lack of modularity is one reason why the spellchecker "aftermarket" is
so fragmented, especially after the major languages've been included in the OS box.
And I've filed a bugreport on the misleading documentation.


All the bestest,

Can't you can read the info.plist as a dictionary, modify it, and write it manually ?

Only if "you" have write access. A user may not have write access to anything under /Applications, etc. so designing your application to depend on being able to modify its plist will likely fail for some users.
