Q&A
---

**Q:** There is already a [Dictionaries package](https://github.com/SublimeText/Dictionaries "Dictionaries package") for Sublime Text, why another ?

**A:** Dictionaries is a really cool package, but it is big (29 dictionaries, 23 different languages), and all variants are not included for each language. I want to provide a package that has only one main language (fr_FR) with its technical variants. For information, [I also contribute to Dictionaries](https://github.com/titoBouzout/Dictionaries/pull/96), to keep it up to date in concordance to this Package. Currently, the French dictionary version included in Dictionaries package is the same as the one provided here.

**Q:** Other languages ?

**A:** You are free to clone this repo, provide any language you wish and add your package to Sublime Package Control. If I'm not lazy enough, I might add one or two other languages, but not more.

**Q:** Can I contribute ?

**A:** If you want to add a newer version of the French dictionaries (fr_FR) you can submit a pull request. But I hope that I will be able to keep it up-to-date by myself.

**Q:** Why the fuck is all this not written in French ?!?

**A:** Even if I love the French language (my first language), I consider this page a little bit technical and I prefer to write technical stuff in English. Moreover I consider that people who want to add packages to Sublime Text are used to read English.
