While trying to run Hunspell on the command line for the Bulgarian locale, I get the following error:

  $ hunspell -d bg_BG
  error - iconv_open: UTF-8 -> microsoft-cp1251
  Hunspell 1.3.3

Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I guess the solution would be to reencode the dictionary as UTF-8?

I tried to supply the -i parameter, but without any luck.
