Description Eike Rathke 2022-08-11 09:51:37 UTC

It is possible to create AutoCorrect replacement files for any valid BCP 47 language tag resulting in, for example, some autocorr/acor_art-x-privuse.dat file in the user profile (see https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-create-an-exportable-keyboard-input-scheme/80482/4 )

Dropping such acor_*.dat file into the autocorr/ directory should add the language tag to the list of available languages so it could be readily used without the kludge of needing some source-edited template file just to be able to assign the language.

I could verify that new languages can be listed if a config file was manually added, basing it on an existing language's .dat archive and renamed. Could add new entries to it with the GUI.
