Add a way to add many words/import words to the custom word list

Reported by pooja.n...@gmail.com, May 30 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Added new 20 words from file system in Custom Dictionary.txt but failed to see those words in chrome://Settings -> Language -> Spell Check -> Custom Spellings

What is the expected behavior?
The words which are added to Custom Dictionary.txt should reflect in Chrome browser and should be added for spell checking functionality.

What went wrong?
If I modify Custom Dictionary.txt ecplicitely, the browser makes it as backup (considering it is corrupted) and creates fresh file to use in browser.

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

I would like to have an option to add medical terms in current Chrome spellchecker so that user can type correct medical terms. (currently English(US/UK) Dictionary do not include a  medical terms which we are using internally.)

 This shows which words are added in chrome dictionary by right click "Add to Dictionary". But it fails to include the words we have added explicitely (open Customer Dictionary.txt -> append words -> save -> close) in Custome Dictionary.txt file.

Here is an unofficial tip for automating this without a file, if you know (or can learn) a bit of JavaScript.
Go to the settings screen, press F12 and enter this in the console -
chrome.languageSettingsPrivate.addSpellcheckWord('wordToAdd');
If you have 1,000 words to add, you can use a for-loop that calls this with each word.

Note - calling those functions may cause the browser or tab to crash if Chrome changes its internals, which may happen at any point.

The issue seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team.

Thanks.!
