Re: Help us create a curated list of dictionaries for each shipping locale in Firefox

Hi Francesco, the dictionary az-IR in that list is Iranian version of
Azerbaijani.

This one is created using official dictionary:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/azerbaijani-spellchecker/

Both dictionaries are missing hunspell grammer rules and we are working
on solving these issues. Also, the Iranian version updated 3 years ago
and homepage has no information about it.
