title: Adding dictionaries to the spelling checker

> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The dictionary that the spelling checker uses is used based on the currently chosen content culture. If no dictionary is available for the current content culture, the default dictionary is used. You can specify the default spelling checker dictionary in the **CMSDefaultSpellCheckerCulture** configuration key in the **appSettings** section of the **web.config** file.

## Adding additional dictionaries

The dictionaries are stored in folder **\App\_Data\Dictionaries**. If you need additional dictionaries, you can download them from the following URLs:
