Hi Daniel,
great to hear you found a workaround, I would have tried and maybe it help others, because there is definitely something wrong on their side. I ended up wiping up completely all installations, everything and starting from scratch in order to have it running. To this day, still cannot use MS Word option, thou.
Best Regards,

I went to hunspell.memoq.com on my browser and downloaded the dictionary I wanted.
Then I unzipped it to a temporary location, and found the "lang_COUNTRY.aff, lang_COUNTRY.dic file pairs" (in this case, pt_PT.aff and pt_PT.dic).
Then I created a new zip file with *just those two files*.
Then I added the new dictionary to MemoQ using this newly-created "minimalist" zip file, without any of the other ancillary files (e.g. LICENSES.txt, hyph_pt_PT.dic, READMEs, description.xml, etc.).
That did the trick - dictionary successfully added!
Note: Using MemoQ v9.1.9

Thank you Daniel, your help was invaluable!
Soraya, I was having the exact same issue you were having. I'm was very sorry to read Stepan's condescending comments to your struggles.
I hope you can find a way to implement Daniel's fix, it really does work. As it's going to save me a lot of trouble in the future, I'll attempt to re-create a step-by-step procedure of what I did:

I hope you can find a way to implement Daniel's fix, it really does work. As it's going to save me a lot of trouble in the future, I'll attempt to re-create a step-by-step procedure of what I did:
1. Went to https://hunspell.memoq.com/
2. Downloaded the en.zip file to my desktop.
3. Opened the zip file.
4. Dragged and dropped "en_US.aff" and "en_US.dic" to the desktop from the file.
5. Highlighted both of the files from step 4, right-clicked and selected "Compress to zip file".
6. Went back to memoQ -> options -> spelling and grammar -> selected my language -> installed from file just created.
Super duper important: you have to enable your new dictionary FOR THE VARIANT you're working in. For example, I was frustrated to find that this fix still didn't work, but I had enabled the dictionary in the EN_US variant, but not the main EN language, which was the target language of the project I was working on at the time!!! ▲ Collapse

Worked for me. In my case it was French and file names were just fr.aff and fr.dic. Make sure that you add JUST THESE TWO files into archive and name the resulting folder fr_FR.zip (in my case). DO NOT group the two files into a folder before archiving. Lots of work to you all.

Hello, everyone!
Sorry for raising this problem again but I was wondering if anybody had any further advice. I tried creating that simplified zip and I'm still getting an error message.
I have Spanish selected as the language, and when I try installing my zip (both with the name es.zip or with es_ANY.zip) I get these errors:
"The specified file is not a valid archive. (es.zip)"
"The archive does not contain any lang_COUNTY.aff, lang_COUNTY.di... See more Hello, everyone!

"The archive does not contain any lang_COUNTY.aff, lang_COUNTY.dic file pairs. (es.zip)"
And I definitely do have those two files inside that zip!
Does anybody know what I can do? I also can't use the "Look for more dictionaries online" option because it gives me a "FTP server is no available" message. Not sure what to do anymore!! ▲ Collapse

To check that, unzip your archive and see whether it creates a folder containing a pair of files or simply two files. Probably memoQ can't find it because your files were zipped along with their folder.
To create a correct zip archive, press and hold Ctrl and click the two files (*.aff and *.dic) to select them both. Then righ-click one of them and select Send to... Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Before I wrote my comments, I tried it all myself and it worked fine for me (I wonder if "there was definitely something wrong on their side", then why it worked for me?). That is why it was so important to reproduce exactly the same steps and that is exactly why I tried to understand what the OP did instead.
And there were two others before me who asked OP to give the exact error message (to no avail though). But weirdly you didn't notice others...
