(In reply to Jay Philips from comment #0) > Kevin Atkinson has created an updated english hunspell dictionaries ( > http://wordlist.aspell.net/dicts/ ) and it would be useful to integrate it > within LibreOffice If it's a better dictionary, easy to integrate, and license-compatible, then that sounds good to me. Status -> NEW When I asked Nemeth by email about pushing LibreOffice's changes upstream into Kevin's or Mozilla's work, he stated: -------------------------- It would be better the upstream support, or a more simple patching process (the original part-of-speech/morphological data extender scripts are attached to an old OpenOffice.org issue), but Firefox hasn't used thesauri, yet (Safari does it). -------------------------- So what i get from this is that the our en-US.aff cant be upstreamed, but can en-US.dic? Was searching through the OOo bugzilla and found the bug where i believe the dictionary files were last updated from - https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92383 I had opened a github issue at Kevin's repo where i filed the same issue - https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues/104 > Was searching through the OOo bugzilla and found the bug where i believe the > dictionary files were last updated from - > https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92383 I don't believe the dictionary refereed to in that bug report was ever used. For one thing he only released it under the GPLv3. Per an agreement with Nemeth several years ago, I am the official maintainer of the American Hunspell dictionary, at least for the contents of the dictionary. I do not believe the American dictionary from Nemeth has been updated in a long time. I wrote some scripts to help Mozilla upgrade to the latest upstream version, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137544. I am not sure I have the time to do the same for LibreOffice, but perhaps someone can use those scripts as a starting point. AOO seems to be regularly updating their english dictionaries. http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice Yes, it is me who is updating AOO English Dictionaries monthly. For a few months that I have also placed the OXT at LO's Extensions page: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/english-dictionaries It would be great if it could be integrated into LO. Also, take a look at the project page: http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html And my GitHub from where you can download individual files: https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict At least you could integrate the British speller since I added 18'000+ new words since I embraced the task around 2-3 years ago. *** Bug 105058 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** So Marco pushed Kevin's dictionaries and his en_GB dictionary into master. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/34751/ He's also trying to get more works into the en_US dictionary in this github issue. https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/181 |
