Hello,
As I understand, this error message refers to the Ispell dictionary
template. This template can use various dictionary formats. Which is
confusing. Maybe would be better to change dictionary template name. But
it can break backward compatibility...
If we want to change the error message, maybe change it to the following?
"Hunspell dictionary format supports only \"default\", \"long\", and
\"num\" flag value"
