Is there any explanation docs or tutorials of the file structure of FreeDict, Aspell, Hunspell/OpenOffice Dictionaries especially concerning the switches at the end of each row in each .dic file? My guess is that the switches describe the semantic interpretation of the word whether it's a
or any combination of the above. But I don't know how to match these to the switch characters.
I'm also curios about what the .aff file describes.

A dictionary file is a file that describes the format of flat text files. Dictionary files have either a dic or dict extension. They can be manually created text files, or files generated by the VI Fileout Output Object.
Tools → Options → Language Settings → Languages and select the dictionary you want. If the dictionary is not installed, download it from Dictionaries or go to the OpenOffice Welcome Screen and select Tools → Extension Manager → Get More Extensions online.
You can download Hunspell dictionaries from one of the following websites: Open Office dictionaries: http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/search?f[0]=field_project_tags%3A157. Mozilla Firefox dictionaries: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools.
This looks like a good starting point, and the downloads at this page may have the format documentation you're looking for.
