New spell checker: Kichwa (Ecuador)
Last modified: 2013-02-24 20:43:11 UTC
We have a working, basic spell checker for Shukllachiska Kichwa, written in Ecuador. We want the language code to be qu_EC. After talking to SIL about what would be the correct code, we ended on qu_EC since no new language codes will be assigned for reasons of new dialects, orthograpies or similar less important changes. An initial hunspell dictionary v.0.1 is available on http://arno.homelinux.org/files/kichwa/qu_EC-0.1.tgz and if I find out how to attach files I will attach them here, too :)
Created attachment 60457 [details] affix file
Created attachment 60458 [details] dictionary file (wordlist)
I now created a dictionary extension for this spellchecker. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/KichwaSpellchecker
The summary should really be: 'Please add "Kichwa (Ecuador)" to language list box.'. Now, I don't find out how to change it myself, so I add this comment. The real problem here is not the spellchecker, but the fact that there is no list box entry to select the spellchecker. Until the list box entry is added, we have to use "Norwegian (Bokmål)" to activate the spellchecker. An ugly hijacking-trick. A similar issue, but for another language, is http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80114
For the dictionary extension this issue is moot. For the language list box it is a duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 99972 ***
Closing dup.
