How to make the proofreading tool LanguageTool know new words?

[be4]

When using YaLafi, "LanguageTool" is called as the proofreading tool.

However, currently it doesn't know words like "ElGamal" and declares them as misspelled.
How can I make these words known to the proofreading tool when entering the call of the YaLafi command.

Please add a minimal working example including the enhanced file en.pdf.

There is no option for that built into YaLafi. I would anyway recommend running LanguageTool locally (see item (1) under LanguageTool in Readme#Installation and LanguageTool documentation). You can then add words to path/to/LanguageTool-5.x/org/languagetool/resource/en/hunspell/spelling_custom.txt.

I haven’t tested, but if you have an account for their web service and use that together with YaLafi (see this issue, but the code is currently not online, nor merged) it might also be possible to add words in their web interface.

You can only ignore full LanguageTool rules currently, but misspellings all have the same rule ID.

Thanks for the solution. It's weird that spelling_custom.txt does not work for me, but changing in the spelling.txt within the same folder does finish the job.
