Unable to add dictionary using Flatpak #1270

Hello! I have used Manuskript today for the first time. I am using the Flatpak version 0.16.1 on a Steam Deck running SteamOS,

Everything seems working fine except I cannot seem to be able to add a dictionary.

By looking at the instructions in the Wiki, I have installed aspell and aspell-it, however I suspect that the Flatpak version might not be able to look for external locations as I don't see Italian as an option.

If this is expected, I believe it would make sense to add this information to the Wiki), unless this is not expected and then we have an issue to troubleshoot :)

Flatpak is sandboxed so I don't think you can install dictionaries that way, however @TheJackiMonster might know of a different way.

The flatpak does not have access to software outside its sandbox. Similar applies for the snap version as well and any other kind of sandboxing.

It's as I suspected, which means I will have to force myself to write correctly :)

I think it might be useful to add this information to the wiki, probably a one-liner like "NOTE: it is not currently possible to use extra dictionaries when using a sandboxes release like Flatpak or Snap".

OK I'll add it.
