Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94642
Extension Dictionaries and multiple dictionaries for the same locale
Last modified: 2008-10-09 09:07:36 UTC
I'm try to create an extension for a secondary dictionary, but I found that is impossible in OOo 3.0 I have write the extension for the Italian dictionaries, in witch there is the primary orthographic dictionary for Italian language (it_IT.dic it_IT.aff). http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/Dict_it_IT I have also a secondary dictionary (the Italian surname dictionary: it_IT_cognome.dic it_IT_cognome.aff) and in OOo 2.x and 1.x you can define and use a secondary dictionary in dictionary.lst file: DICT it IT it_IT DICT it IT it_IT_cognome And all work correctly. You can find the MySpell/HunSpell surname dictionary here: http://linguistico.sf.net/wiki/doku.php?id=dizionario_cognomi_italiani Now this feature is missing in OOo 3.0 and so all Italian users of the surname dictionary cannot use it anymore :-( I think this is a defect because this is a featured that have been take away from OOo 3.0. I'm also creating others secondary dictionaries (medical, astronomical, ...) and all they will be unusable with OOo 3.0. I think that also others people have created secondary dictionaries ... all useless now :.( I have read this (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries): ----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<---- You must have at most one dictionary of any type for each language in your extension! That is only one for each format DICT_SPELL, DICT_HYPH, DICT_THES per locale. Otherwise, if for example you have two different spelling dictionaries with different content, they will all be used at the same time(!), which is most likely not want you want. And thus you have taken away the choice for the user. ----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<---- but I cannot use only the surname dictionary (it_IT_cognome) ... it complete the it_IT dictionary, and so I must install and use all two together. Please add again the possibility to use secondary dictionary in OOo 3.0. Secondary dictionaries are a very valuable OOo features; if you take away they you make unhappy users. Ciao Davide

Reassigned to SBA.
Please close this wrong bug report. I have made a mistake. There can be multiple dictionaries for the same locale. I have made a mistake in the dictionary.xcu I have write: <value>it_IT</value> instead of: <value>it-IT</value> for the tag <prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list"> and the results is that the surname dictionary was not loaded.
SBA: Thank you for your comment. Set issue resolution to "Worksforme"
Closing issue.
