As a developer working on localized applications, I would like to be able to add language dictionaries to the instance of cspell installed by mason. As it is now, I would need to rewrite the entire app to use a localization framework just so I can extract the localized strings from the codebase in order to escape the huge amount of warnings cspell generates.

Cspell has a built in mechanism for adding language dictionaries, see @cspell/dict-nb-no

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to customize the languages added and linked with npm when adding cspell with Mason. Ideally I'd like to pass a list of languages to mason setup, so that when it installs cspell with npm it would also add those languages it knows about and link them appropriately. It could look like this:

require'mason'.setup({
  cspell = {
    additional_dicts = {
      '@cspell/dict-nb-no'
      -- Alternatively by constraining it to only dicts in the @cspell npm organization
      'nb-no'
    }
  }
})
Describe potential alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by tracing the mason.setup configuration path and how cspell is installed with npm. Implement support for selecting additional cspell language dictionaries, then verify that the configured packages are installed and linked appropriately without requiring a localization framework.
